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

Objective: To investigate how pH affects the rate of protein digestion Hypothesis: I predict that since pepsin breaks down the material the quickest at a pH of 2 in the stomach‚ test tubes #3 will reduce the greatest because it has pepsin to further break down the egg. Whereas the other test tubes will have a smaller reduction. I think test tube #2 will have the second largest reduction rate and then #6 because they all will have a greater rate at breaking down the material‚ Then‚ I predict the

6.1.1 Explain why digestion of large food molecules is essential. There are two reasons why the digestion of large food molecules is vital. Firstly‚ the food we eat is made up of many compounds made by other organisms which are not all suitable for human tissues and therefore these have to be broken down and reassembled so that our bodies can use them. Secondly‚ the food molecules have to be small enough to be absorbed by the villi in the intestine through diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion or active

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

Process of Digestion and Absorption after eating a hamburger. After someone eats a hamburger with the works‚ they do not really think of what nutrients are in that hamburger‚ what the body does to get those nutrients out of the food‚ or even what process is used‚ they just think of how good it tasted. To get all the nutrients out of the food the human body uses processes called absorption and digestion. Some of the processes of digestion are mechanical and chemical; these are the step before the

Lab : Iodine-starch Clock Reaction Pre-lab: Before the lab was conducted‚ the concentration of the Iodate ions to be in the mixture made by dissolving specific volumes of solution A with a constant concentration and water was calculated using the dissolution formula: C1V1 = C2V2 Sample Calculation 1: Concentration of the Iodate ions: For mixture 1: C2 = C1V1/ V2 = (0.020mol/L) x (0.003L)/(0.01L) = 0.006mol/L The same calculations were used in the calculating of the
