    sucrose‚ 1%lactose‚ 1% glycogen‚ 1% starch‚ protein‚ beer‚ distilled water and an unknown solution (test tube: 300). The iodine test for starch was to test how would starch reacted if we put iodine in it. The color of starch before the test was clear. The color of the iodine was brown. When you added iodine into starch‚ the result was the starch solution turned dark blue. Starch had a positive result is because of the complex of iodine stuck inside the amylase coil which produced a characteristic

    temperature on amylase activity Introduction Amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylases are found in almost all plants‚ animals and microorganisms. Large amounts of amylase occur in germinating cereals‚ and in the pancreas and saliva of higher animals. Aim The aim of this experiment is to find out the rate of reaction between amylase and starch in a range of different reaction temperatures. Hypothesis As the reaction temperature of amylase solution

    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

    Biology Digestion IA 13/03/2013 Jason Gao Rationale: Digestion is the chemical breakdown of food into smaller components that are more easily absorbed. Digestion is a form of catabolism: a breakdown of large food molecules to smaller ones. When food enters into stomach‚ gastric juice starts protein digestion. Gastric juice mainly contains hydrochloric acid and pepsin. The pH value of hydrochloric in the stomach

    closely to the substrate; this greatly increases the reaction rate of the bounded substrate. Amylase enzyme‚ just like any other enzyme‚ has an optimum PH and temperature range in which it is most active‚ and in which the substrate binds most easily. The purpose of this experiment was to determine (1) the reaction rate of an amylase enzyme in starch and (2) the environmental factors that can affect the enzymatic activity. The hypothesis‚ in relation to the enzymatic activity by variables such

    Digestion begins in the mouth when one eats food. It begins the moment one takes a sandwich bite. The teeth are used to break the sandwich that contains lettuce and pickles into smaller particles or boluses so that the enzymes can digest the food much easier. Lettuce contains carbohydrates‚ proteins and fat. The tongue helps turn food in the mouth and mix with the saliva in the mouth which contains salivary amylase enzyme. It then passes through the esophagus to the stomach which is a mixer and grinder

    of temperature on fungal amylase and bacterial amylase (Aspergillus oryzae and Bascillus Licheniformis). We used 4 different temperatures in Celsius 0‚ 23‚ 58‚ and 89 for both fungal and amylase. For 10 minutes‚ every 2 minutes we would use 3 drops of each amylase and mix it with iodine to observe the presence of starch at each temperature. We conducted this experiment for both bacterial and fungal amylase. Results were reached based on the color of the iodine and amylase mixture. Colors were classified

    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
