    fungal Amylases and evaluate how temperature affects the catabolic rate of enzymes. Enzyme reaction rate was measured using an Iodine test in which drops of starch solution with either fungal or bacterial Amylase exposed to different temperatures were mixed with Iodine. Iodine is a dark blue color in the presence of starch and turns light yellow in its absence. Bacterial Amylase had an optimal temperature of 55°C‚ meaning that starch was broken down the fastest at this temperature. Fungal Amylase showed

    Amylase Enzyme vs. Starch vs. pH vs. Temperature Taylor Ellsworth Professor Michael Bunch Cell Biology 112 “Effects of Amylase reaction time when breaking down starch.” Experiment Goal: The goal of our experiment was to understand the similarities in digestion by finding out how long it takes for the amylase enzyme‚ found in saliva‚ to break down our substrate‚ starch. Hypothesis: While understanding that starch is broken down by our saliva (amylase enzyme) we predict that the higher

    SBI3U1 November 6th‚ 2014 Spit and Armpit Lab Partners: Kara Washer and Josh Young Abstract This lab shows the use of salivary amylase with strong and weak starch mixtures to break down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars. This lab was conducted to physically see the breakdown of carbohydrates into simpler sugars (glucose‚ fructose‚ galactose) using the salivary amylase enzyme. This is extremely important to all metabolic functions in the human digestive system. It is found that benedict’s

    Bio Lab Report In part II of the Organic Compounds in Foods lab‚ we to examining whether or not the starch in the saltine cracker can chemically break down in sugar with the presence of salivary amylase‚ which is an enzyme found in your mouth which assists in digestion. My group and I were instructed to obtain a saltine cracker from our teacher and chew on it for approximately 2 minutes. After concluding the chewing‚ we then grabbed a beaker and spit our slimy and chewed cracker into it. Subsequently

    remaining solution was blue which is translucent. 4 10 ml solution B 1 ml saliva 95 The blue coloured solution remains unchanged. The blue coloured solution remains unchanged as well. Discussion : In the experiment‚ the enzyme amylase was involved. Amylase breaking down the starch suspension into maltose and maltose into glucose when HCL was added into solution B .This is because solution B was hydrolyzed and the H+ ions present break down the bond in between molecules of the solution B.

    effect of pH on the activity rate of salivary amylase? Dependent variable: activity rate Independent variable: pH Hypothesis: This is a paragraph or two where you explain your research question. You are going to say something like: "Salivary Amylase is a an enzyme that digests starch into di- and monosaccharides. Since it’s a salivary amylase‚ the enzyme works best at an alkaline pH of 7‚ in other words‚ the optimum pH is 7. At this pH‚ the rate of amylase activity will be at it’s highest. A
