Charlene Villanueva - Biology Charlene Villanueva - Biology Starch‚ Glycogen and Cellulose Independent Research A polysaccharide is a long chain of monosaccharide molecules‚ held by glycosidic bonds. They are usually not sweet in taste‚ insoluble in water and often do not produce crystals when water is taken out. Starch Starch is a complex solid carbohydrate‚ consisting glucose molecules held together by glycosidic bonds. It is a storage polysaccharide. They can be found in fruits‚ seeds‚ roots

The Effect and Rate of the Enzyme Amylase on Starch Abstract Assessing reaction speed of the enzyme amylase can be measured by the amount of glucose and maltose produced during given time intervals. I hypothesized that‚ if the reaction time is longer‚ then the amount of amylase will be larger. Enzymes are specific in their match of substrates they will breakdown – similar to a key and its lock. Since amylase is the only enzyme that breaks down starch‚ the procedure was effective and gave clear

Focused Question: How can one determine the presence of glucose‚ starch‚ lipid‚ and protein in various samples? Pre-lab Questions: • Glucose is a monosaccharide. What does this mean? A monosaccaride is a carbohydrate molecule with three to seven carbon atoms with the corresponding number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. • Proteins are made of amino acids. What atom is present in an amino acid that is not present in a sugar molecule? One nitrogen atom is present per molecule in an amino acid

Micromeritic properties refer to science and technology of small particles. The study of particle size and the arrangement of particles are of significant importance as it affects the physical‚ chemical and pharmacologic properties of a drug. Also‚ it is important for not only manufacturing and packaging but also quality control from raw material to final product uniformity. The science of micromeritic involves the study of particle size‚ size distribution‚ flow properties and bulkiness. The flowability

Anaerobic digestion Anaerobic digestion is a series of processes in which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen‚ used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste and/or to release energy. The digestion process begins with bacterial hydrolysis of the input materials in order to break down insoluble organic polymers such as carbohydrates and make them available for other bacteria. Acidogenic bacteria then convert the sugars and amino acids into carbon dioxide

Human Digestion Summary Nicole Koch SCI/241 August 1‚ 2012 Bruce Elliott Human Digestion Summary The digestive system provides two main functions‚ absorption and digestion. The main part of the digestive system is the gastrointestinal tract also referred to as the GI tract. This runs all the way from the mouth to the anus‚ about thirty feet long. The GI tract is made up of the mouth‚ pharynx‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small intestine‚ large intestine and anus. The transit time is the amount

Digestion is a process in which the food that we eat is broken down into tiny nutrients to be taken in by the body. Within the human digestive system‚ chemical and physical reactions occur that allow for the digestion and the absorption of proteins into the bloodstream. The purpose of this paper is to show how chemistry relates to the daily functions within the body. There are two types of digestion processes‚ which are called mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion includes the

Physiology & Anatomy Lab SC 145L Anatomy & Physiology I Lab Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion Introduction: In this lab‚ we will see how different chemical processes occur as we observe how different enzymes digest different substrates and produce subunits. Key Terms: (found in bold in Lab Manual) Please define all bold terms in your own words: Enzymes- Large protein molecules made by your body cells. Catalyst- Without becoming part of the substance it will change the rate

Review Sheet Exercise 8 Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion NAME Dane Wilson LAB DATE/TIME august 4th Carbohydrate Digestion The following questions refer to Activity 1: Assessing Starch Digestion by Salivary Amylase. 1. At what pH did you see the highest activity of salivary amylase? Why? 7.0 because that is when the salivary is most effective and it breaks down carbohydrates. 2. How do you know that the amylase did not have any contaminating maltose
