    experiment in which you will investigate a digestive enzyme’s effect on digestion” Research Question: To determine the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate of digestion. This will be done by increasing the concentration of the enzyme diastase and investigate its effect on the rate of starch digestion. The rate will be determined by the amount of time it takes to completely digest the powdered starch‚ the complete digestion will be indicated by the color change of the solution by iodine. Hypothesis:

    Josh Huggard Mr. Neale 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

    Living organisms rely on digestion (hydrolysis) to convert food energy from polymers into monomers‚ which are easier for our cells to absorb. This study was conducted to show how polysaccharides are broken down by organisms to absorb nutrients through hydrolysis. We used different methods to show how different tests involving heat‚ acid‚ saliva‚ and bacteria can hydrolyze polysaccharides and proteins. Through this experiment we have found that heat and acid hydrolyze starch while using the Benedicts

    rate of amylase in starch? In this experiment diluted solutions of amylase were created and then tested using a starch solution‚ I2KI for reaction times. The answer to the question was proved to be that more concentration of amylase speeds up the reaction time. Introduction The enzyme‚ amylase is found in the saliva of most animals and in humans. Amylase hydrolyzes starch‚ a plant’s reservation of carbohydrates. Amylase causes a chemical reaction in the polysaccharide starch that breaks down

    Saliva Lab Since the amylase enzyme is present in saliva‚ starch digestion begins in the mouth. Salivary amylase changes the polysaccharide starch into many disaccharide molecules of maltase (a simple sugar) which are further broken down into glucose units by maltase enzyme in the As stated above‚ saliva contains the amylase enzyme which begins the breakdown of starches. The efficiency of starch digestion by amylase can be measured by how much simple sugar it produces under

    Digestion and Enzymes – APP. Hypothesis: The enzyme‚ Amylase which is used to break down carbohydrates will work the best when heated at 40°C. Also‚ as the temperature increases the reaction rate of amylase increases too. However‚ the reaction rate of amylase will start decreasing when the temperature reaches the enzyme’s optimal temperature. Many enzymes are specific for a certain substrate. For example‚ lipase is a specific enzyme for fat substrates and protease‚ a specific enzyme for
