Lab 8 - Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion (p.105) Introduction: In this lab‚ I will study how digestion of carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and fats occurs. I will define Key Terms that describe what will occur in the experiments; I will conduct an experiment for each Activity and provide all resulting Data as well as answer Questions from each Activity. I will then provide a short Summary for what I learned in each Activity. Key Terms: Enzymes (p. 105) – Speed up chemical

Lab Report 8 April 15th Exercise 8: Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion Lab Report Questions Activity 1 What is the difference between the IKI assay and Benedict’s assay? IKI assay detects the presence of starch‚ and the Benedict assay tests for the presence of reducing sugars as well as IKI turns blue black whereas Benedict is a bright blue that changes to green to orange to reddish brown with increasing levels of maltose What was the purpose of tubes #1 and #2? Why are they

Review Sheet Exercise 8 Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion NAME Dane Wilson LAB DATE/TIME august 4th Carbohydrate Digestion The following questions refer to Activity 1: Assessing Starch Digestion by Salivary Amylase. 1. At what pH did you see the highest activity of salivary amylase? Why? 7.0 because that is when the salivary is most effective and it breaks down carbohydrates. 2. How do you know that the amylase did not have any contaminating maltose

Anatomy & Physiology I Lab Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion Introduction: In this lab‚ we will see how different chemical processes occur as we observe how different enzymes digest different substrates and produce subunits. Key Terms: (found in bold in Lab Manual) Please define all bold terms in your own words: Enzymes- Large protein molecules made by your body cells. Catalyst- Without becoming part of the substance it will change the rate of the chemical reaction. Hydrolyses-

The Process of Digestion Over the course of time there have been many difficult questions and theories about everyday life. Using physiology & chemistry‚ those questions have been able to be answered. From the mixture of gases in the air we breathe to the organic substance of plastic or paper‚ chemistry can be seen everywhere. However‚ most people mistook the power of chemistry in our own bodies. How is it that a simple slice of bread‚ once consumed‚ can turn into fuel for the human body

Defn. of Digestion: the process whereby a biological entity processes a substance‚ in order to chemically convert the substance into nutrients. It usually involves mechanical manipulation and chemical action. Mechanical Digestion What is it? This type of digestion involves the mixing‚ grinding or crushing of large pieces of food into smaller places. Why does it take place? So that the food we consume is broken down into smaller pieces before we swallow it which in turn makes process of chemical

The digestion process The digestion process begins in the mouth. First we take a bite of food. The presccence of food in the mouth stimulates the flow of saliva from the salivary glands. Saliva moistens the food and carries dissolved food molecules to the taste buds. Saliva helps digest food because it contains enzymes that start to break it down. After the food is covered with saliva‚ you then begin to chew your food. Chewing breaks down food into smaller pieces and also breaks apart fiber that
