systems. Hormones are a chemical substance signalling system that communicates from one set of cells to another set‚ the target cells‚ which will then trigger enzyme secretion. Upon ingesting food into the mouth‚ salivary glands secrete saliva which contains the digestive enzyme ‘Salivary Amylase’. This has a neutral pH and

of food. The names of enzymes that help in digestion are: •Amylase: This enzyme helps in breaking down carbohydrates. It is found in saliva‚ pancreas and intestinal juices. •Proteases: It helps in digestion of proteins. It is present in the stomach‚ pancreatic and intestinal juices. •Lipases: Lipases assist in digestion of fats. It is seen in the stomach‚ pancreatic juice and food fats. Amylase I and II are secreted by the salivary glands initially and then by the pancreas. They break the bonds

The small intestine contains enzymes that digest polypeptide‚ starch‚ lipids‚ sucrose‚ lactose‚ and maltose. These cells play a key role in absorption and digestion of the

and what colour does it turn in presence of starch and glycogen? Starch: yellow --> blue-black (amylase in starch reacts with iodine) Glycogen: yellow --> reddish-brown (due to the multi-branched component) 5) How do plants and animals store simple sugar glucose? In the form of polysaccharides. In plants‚ starch is the polysaccharide with glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds. Glycogen‚ in animals‚ is a larger polymer. 6) How do starch and glycogen differ?

Just like everything else in our body‚ the digestive system is a process and is made up of different components that all work together. The digestive system starts with the saliva in your mouth. The salivary glands recognize the sight and smell of food. The saliva contains the enzyme salivary amylase which begins the chemical digestion of food. The food you eat is moistened‚ chewed up by your teeth and then is transferred into a bolus. Once the bolus leaves the mouth‚ it moves into your pharynx‚

Name different parts of a nephron. Write absorption and secretion of different parts of a nephron. Nephron: It is the functional part of the kidney‚ encharged of filtration of blood and eliminates the nitrogenous waste of our bodies. The nephron consists of: functional units; two parts: renal corpuscle

of pH on amylase activity. The results of this experiment indicate that the activity maximum of amylase is at pH 7.0‚ whereas pH 2.0 and pH 9.0 demonstrated very little activity. In this experiment‚ pH 7.0 showed the highest level of amylase activity. Tube 3 showed that amylase did not contain maltose contamination. Tubes 3‚ 4‚ and 5 showed that water had no starch or maltose contamination. Tube 3 directly showed that water did not have maltose or starch contamination. Tube 4 was a starch control

enzyme amylase. The amylase is used to break down the polysaccharide starch. Amylase is a digestive enzyme classified as a saccharidase (an enzyme that cleaves polysaccharides). It is mainly a constituent of pancreatic juice and saliva‚ needed for the breakdown of long-chain carbohydrates (such as starch) into smaller units. Amylase is also synthesized in the fruit of many plants during ripening‚ causing them to become sweeter‚ and also during the germination of cereal grains. Grain amylase is key

buffers to amylase affect the rate of starch digestion measured using starch and iodine? Introduction Amylase is an enzyme found in human saliva and pancreas. It is the digestive enzyme that is needed to breakdown starch molecules. Amylase must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level. This experiment will explore the effect of pH (1‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10‚ and 14) on the function of amylase by using starch and iodine. Usually iodine has a orange-yellow color‚ but iodine and starch react
