of antacids on pepsin’s ability to digest protein. _2.2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION_ Pepsin is an active form of pepsinogen which is released into the stomach. Hydrochloric acid is also released into the stomach from parietal cells and makes the pH acidic‚ of a pH 1-3. This then activates chief cells to release pepsinogen‚ which functions in an autocatalyctic fashion. The hydrochloric acid mixed with pepsinogen generates pepsin‚ which can digest 20% of ingested carbon bonds. The primary structure of pepsin

Date Due: July 5‚ 2013 Date Submitted: July 5‚ 2013 EXPERIMENT 1 PREPARING BUFFERS AND BUFFER CAPACITY INTRODUCTION A buffer solution is one in which the pH of the solution is "resistant" to small additions of either a strong acid or strong base. Buffers usually consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base‚ in relatively equal and "large" quantities. A buffer system can be made by mixing a soluble compound

Procedure Overview • • • • after calibration of the pH electrode and determination of the flow rate for the automatic titration‚ a NaOH solution is standardized against HCl. a pH titration curve for acetic acid is obtained and its pKa is determined. an unknown sample of Lysol is analyzed for its HCl content using the standardized NaOH. an unknown sample of Liquid

neutral pH levels around 7. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that catalyze metabolic reactions vital for the survival and functioning of cells [1]. Without enzymes‚ metabolic processes would occur at unfeasible rates. Catalase is a naturally occurring enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen; it is essential to cellular respiration. I asked if enzyme activity was affected when exposed to different conditions‚ such as temperature‚ substrate concentration‚ and pH levels

will decrease. Each enzyme functions at an optimum pH. Well according to the graph‚ you see that the enzyme did not function at all when boiled which can be explained by the fact that it got denatured. Denaturing means the secondary and tertiary structure of the enzyme does get disrupted so bonds would definitely be broken. What seemed to be the optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme? In other words‚ at what temperature and pH was the rate of reaction fastest? How did you determine

(D1) pH is measured based on its acidity and alkalinity. There are many substances around the body that have different pH values. A pH of 7 is usually considered neutral‚ neither acid nor alkaline‚ this is the pH of water. In the body the acids and bases need to be in very close balance‚ this is called ‘acid base homeostasis. If it goes off too far in either direction then it could be fatal to the body. For example in the body the blood has a pH value of around 7.35 to 7.45‚ if the bloods pH value
