released. These are the most commonly made of recycled and/or natural organic materials. They utilize nature’s abundant supplies to create a replica or substitute for our plastics. One example would be the “Biodegradable plastic bags” made from the starch of the Cassava plant (Manihot esculent). The new plastic has been able to capture the interests of buyers‚ enabling it to advocate the benefits and obvious effects one can receive from using an eco friendly product. To further elaborate the example

the gastrointestinal tract plus the accessory organs of digestion (the tongue‚ salivary glands‚ pancreas‚ liver‚ and gallbladder).[1] In this system‚ the process of digestion has many stages‚ the first of which starts in the mouth. Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components‚ until they can be absorbed and assimilated into the body. Chewing‚ in which food is mixed with saliva begins the process of digestion. This produces a bolus which can be swallowed down the esophagus

I believe that the reason the cell appeared smaller after being exposed to starch solution was because water molecules move out of the cell because the concentration of water inside the cell was greater than outside the cell. I believe this for a few different reasons. We were given 3 different explanations to explain why the cells appear smaller after being exposed to sugar water. These include: That the sugar molecules are not able to enter the cell‚ but the sugar molecules push on the cell membrane

The first half of module seven discussed protein digestion‚ absorption‚ and metabolism; while the second half focused on pathological stress and kidney disease. Protein digestion occurs in the stomach and small intestine. When a protein reaches the stomach it is denatured by hydrochloric acid. Once the protein is digested pepsin breaks apart the denatured protein into peptides. Peptides move into the small intestine where they encounter an enzyme that digest the peptides into di- or tripeptides‚

Lab Report 8 April 15th Exercise 8: Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion Lab Report Questions Activity 1 What is the difference between the IKI assay and Benedict’s assay? IKI assay detects the presence of starch‚ and the Benedict assay tests for the presence of reducing sugars as well as IKI turns blue black whereas Benedict is a bright blue that changes to green to orange to reddish brown with increasing levels of maltose What was the purpose of tubes #1 and #2? Why are they

Lab 8 - Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion (p.105) Introduction: In this lab‚ I will study how digestion of carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and fats occurs. I will define Key Terms that describe what will occur in the experiments; I will conduct an experiment for each Activity and provide all resulting Data as well as answer Questions from each Activity. I will then provide a short Summary for what I learned in each Activity. Key Terms: Enzymes (p. 105) – Speed up chemical
