Research Question How will the addition of different pH 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

Determination of presence of protein in a variety of food substances by the use of Biuret Reagent Biol. 1040 Section 1005 Introduction The human body consumes carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ and proteins each day by eating a variety of foods. These foods are required for energy and human growth. Proteins are a diverse group of macromolecules with many different functions (Mbuthia‚ 2012). Many are structural components of bone‚ muscle‚ hair‚ tissue‚ etc. Others are enzymes that speed up cellular

Get Charged Up Lab Report Abstract Get Charged Up Magnesium ribbon was reacted with Hydrochloric acid in three different experiments to determine the charge on a metal ion. After running multiple tests in the three different procedures‚ the Crystallization method proved to be the best method for determining the charge of the metal ion by using mole to mole ratio. Introduction The objective of the Get Charged Up lab was to determine the charge on a metal ion reacting with HCl by determine

Purpose: To find out the densities and to find out the name of the unknown metals. (Based on the extensive and intensive properties) Check up the words mass‚ volume‚ density‚ extensive properties‚ and intensive properties. Where do the units for mass and volume) come from and what do they mean? What is the density of distilled water? What is Archimedes principle? Does temperature affect the density of a solid? Liquid? Gas? Materials: Safety glasses‚ 10‚ 25 or 50 mL graduated cylinders

Background: Lipid and protein composition varies in tissue types. Results: When comparing liver‚ muscle‚ and adipose tissue‚ adipose tissue had the highest percent lipid and liver tissue had the highest percent protein. Conclusion: Based on analysis of the gels‚ the liver appeared to have the most variety in proteins when comparing liver‚ muscle‚ and adipose tissue. Significance: In order to determine the composition of a tissue‚ specific macromolecules can be extracted‚ quantified‚ and analyzed

Chemical Reactions I. Purpose – The purpose of this lab was to observe different type of chemical reactions to write and balance chemical equations. II. Hypothesis: If you mix two chemicals together‚ then they will change color and/or bubble/fix. III. Procedure - Workstation 1: 1. Light the Bunsen Burner 2. Add 5 – 8 mL of HCL to a test tube that’s in the test tube rack 3. Drop a 2 – cm piece of Mg ribbon into the test tube 4. Record Observations 5. Clean Workstation

organic layer contains the dichloromethane‚ aspirin‚ and the unknown. If the HCl has nothing to react with in the aqueous layer following mixing (i.e.‚ sodium acetylsalicylate)‚ then little to no solid aspirin will be produced. Furthermore‚ more unknown would be produced than expected because aspirin would precipitate with the unknown during distillation. (c) Mistakenly extracting the dichloromethane solution with 5% HCl rather than 5% NaHCO3 would make the solution impure. It would likely not form
