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

sodium and copper salts. In presence of simple sugars‚ the blue solution changes color to either green‚ yellow or brick-red‚ depending on the amount of sugar. Method 1) Mix smalls amount of each food sample (i.e.‚ Egg lumen‚ cylindrical piece of potato tuber‚ bread crump and crisps) in different test tubes with distilled water to make a liquid test. Take another test tube with glucose solution to act as a control so as to compare the difference in color after the completion of the experiment. 2) Label

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

Chapter 1 By: Ciara Rafferty “You see I think everything’s terrible anyhow‚” she went on in a convinced way. “Everybody thinks so—the most advanced people. And I know. I’vebeen everywhere and seen everything and done everything.” Her eyes flashed around her in a defiant way‚ rather like Tom’s‚ and she laughed with thrilling scorn. “Sophisticated—God I’m sophisticated!” (21). This passage perfectly depicts the unhappiness that Daisy experiences from day to day. The life that she had

the semester focuses on separating and identifying the components of Panacetin‚ which is a common medication that relieves pain. The label reveals that Panacetin is composed of sucrose (10%)‚ aspirin (40%)‚ and Tylenol (50%). Although this information is reported‚ the true composition of Panacetin is questionable. While sucrose and aspirin are present in Panacetin‚ Tylenol may be replaced by an unknown component (acetanilide or phenacetin). Separation of the components of a sample of Panacetin may prove

potential to a region of lower water chemical potential. (Tzahi 2006) To demonstrate osmosis lab‚ artificial cells were made with various sucrose concentrations and were placed into beakers of different sucrose solutions. Overall the results showed that the higher percentage of concentration gradient of sucrose‚ the more the artificial cells absorbed. Introduction: The phenomenon being investigated in the lab was how the concentration gradient affects the rate of osmosis in a cell. Osmosis is the
