I have been a vegetarian for the past four years and over the course of those years‚ have done extensive research on living a healthy vegetarian lifestyle. Every part of the human digestive tract points toward a vegetarian diet. Digestion begins in the mouth. Let’s examine the tooth and jaw structure of humans. Have you ever compared your teeth to those of a wolf or a tiger? Human teeth are flat or slightly rounded at most -- designed to grind plant material‚ not tear into the

Label five test tubes 1-5. Place 4 mL of 1 % starch in each of the first four test tubes. Place 4 mL of amylase solution in the fifth tube. Place all of the tubes in the 37°C water bath for 5 minutes. Obtain 5 clean droppers and label them 1-5. (To avoid contamination of these solutions

The food has to be made usable by the consumer by a process of digestion. Material that is indigestible will have to be voided. Foods are usually dead or alive body parts and generally consist of large‚ complex organic molecules that need breaking down to smaller chemically simpler forms. small‚ simple organic and

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

Along this pathway I will describe the digestion of George’s meal and the major structures that I will encounter. Arrived to the distal ileum I will divert my journey in to George’s bloodstream at the Superior Mesenteric Vein. I will keep going in to the Renal Artery through the hepatic portal

What are the central ideas of Cells? • What are cells? – Cells are the smallest basic unit of living things. • What do they do? – Cells take in raw materials and making new substances. • Why do they do this? – In cells‚ organelles carry out activities to keep the organism alive. – E.g. synthesising proteins and fats‚ releasing energy from glucose. What are the central ideas of Movement of Substances? • What processes describe how substances move from one region to another? –

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

fungal and bacterial amylase was measured as well. Discovering information‚ such as the optimal temperature‚ can help demonstrate the environment these organisms work best. Thus‚ if further studies are conducted on different enzymes‚ the more information is covered about certain organisms. In the experiment‚ each enzyme source was put to the test by being placed into different test tubes and baths with altered temperatures. In order to see how long the Amylase was hydrolyzing starch in different temperatures

that is being studied is the hydrolysis of starch. The enzyme that is being studied is amylase. This experiment is looking at the effect of temperature on the rate of the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. My hypothesis is that the higher the temperature the faster the hydrolysis of the starch would occur. The rationale behind this is that heat is a form of energy and would increase the reaction and speed up the reaction time. It would also cause the starch to hydrolyze before cooler temperatures.
