and water keeps up your liquid levels. What Happens in Each Organ During the Process of the Digestive System? The Mouth: This is where the digestion of food starts‚ even before you take a bite of a Cheese Sandwich‚ the smell of it triggers the salivary glands in your mouth to create saliva‚ making your mouth water; when the food is in your mouth‚ the saliva increases. The food is broken down into small pieces by chewing‚ which are then small enough to be digested. More saliva is produced to begin

Homeostasis = Body wisdom ↓ ↓ Steady state * Homeostasis keeps us healthy * The means by which organisms (our body) maintain a constant internal environment in spite of fluctuations in the external environment. * This means humans have narrow limits we have to keep. 1.

It also consists of our salivary glands‚ as well as the pancreas and the liver. My saliva is set in the flow of a motion by my brain reflex that sets in whenever I see or smell food. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar. It is often present in human saliva‚ where it begins the chemical process of digestion (Princeton University‚

Acid steeping is a risky process and may result in the degradation of cotton cellulose while rot steeping‚ hot caustic soda treatment and hot washing with detergents are less efficient for the removal of the starch sizes. * Enzymatic desizing : Enzymes are solubilizing bio catalysts‚ mainly proteins‚ thermo labile (readily changed or desized by heat) and highly specific in their action.

Out of two isolates one was able to produce Amylase enzyme but lack in producing other enzymes like beta-Glycosidase‚ Chitinase. Our work can be taken forward to study many more biological activities. Also each activity we study is a complete project in itself and our results promise for application of our isolates in Amylase production and also possible source of novel antibiotics.

clean” and “Magic power”. Principal: Amalyse can catalyse the breakdown of starch into maltose. In this practical‚ solutions of the 2 washing powders will be filled into 2 identical wells on the starch agar plate separately. Starch will be broken down by the amylase disused to the star-agar. A clean zone will be formed around the wells when iodine solution is added and flushed. The higher the amylase activity‚ the more the starch will be broken down. Hence‚ a larger and clearer zone will be observed

enzymes by testing it with starch. The enzyme that we are going to use is called amylase. We are going to test this enzyme with starch. By mixing amylase and starch solutions together under different temperature conditions‚ we can record the rate of reaction by taking a sample out and test it with iodine solution to see if there is any remaining starch present. We have to use the enzyme amylase because enzymes will only work on a specific substrate i.e. amylase will work on starch because of its special
