Starch consisting of a large number of glucose units joined together by glycosidic linkage and known as polysaccharide‚ that is polymers of sugar. Saliva that contains salivary amylase enzyme‚ which breaks down the glycosidic linkage between glucose that found in starch and hydrolyzes starch into glucose

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? We used a negative control to see if there is any amylase in the maltose. 3. What effect did boiling

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

begin in the mouth‚ where an enzyme‚ salivary amylase (α-amylase;ptyalin) starts to breaking the polysaccharides (starch) into short polysaccharides (dextrin). Dextrin is a partial degradation of starch‚ shorter chains of maltose units. Salivary amylase is inactivated by stomach acid in the stomach and to a small extent‚ it continues breaking down starch (but there’s no enzymatic activities on carbohydrates in the stomach). An intestinal enzyme‚ pancreatic amylase‚ continues the activity

Saliva Lab Since the amylase enzyme is present in saliva‚ starch digestion begins in the mouth. Salivary amylase changes the polysaccharide starch into many disaccharide molecules of maltase (a simple sugar) which are further broken down into glucose units by maltase enzyme in the As stated above‚ saliva contains the amylase enzyme which begins the breakdown of starches. The efficiency of starch digestion by amylase can be measured by how much simple sugar it produces under

Referring to the table above‚ specifically state where in the intestine sucrase is likely most active. duodenum 20. Salivary amylase‚ an enzyme in saliva that breaks down starch‚ has an optimal pH of 6.7- 7.0. Explain why salivary amylase is active in the mouth‚ but becomes inactive in the stomach. Salivary amylase is an enyme that’s active in the mouth in order to break down starch into glucose it carries it function out in the environment where the PH is 6.7- 7.0 however activity decreases are the
