Digestive system 6.1.1 explain why digestion of large food molecules is essential * Large food molecules are polymers‚ broken down into monomers in order to be absorbed into the blood * Humans eat substances by other organsims‚ many which are not suitable for human tissues therefore they must be broken down and reassembled in a form that is suitable * Many molecules in foods are too large to be absorbed by the villi in the small intestine‚ the large molecules have to be broken down

Reaction of Enzyme Amylase Research Question: How will changing the percentage of sodium chloride concentration affect the rate of reaction of enzyme amylase‚ measured using the absorbance of starch and iodine with a spectrophotometer. Introduction: Amylase is an enzyme that is involved in the human digestive process. Found in both the human pancreas and the human saliva‚ amylase breaks down starch into sugar so that large molecules can be easily digested1. Like all enzymes‚ amylase must be kept

Checkpoint: Human Digestion Jackie Burkhardt SCI 241 10/15/2010 Sherrie H. Lu The digestive process starts with saliva. Saliva begins with the scent or sight of food. Food enters the digestive system starting at the mouth. Food is broken into smaller pieces by your teeth. The broken up pieces of food mix with saliva and break down into a substance called bolus‚ which is a ball of chewed food. Bolus then passes through the pharynx‚ which helps us swallow‚ into the esophagus and into the stomach

electrophoresis buffer provided the correct pH and it gave ions to support the conductivity for the gel to run. The uncut λ DNA would be added to labeled tube as a control DNA. By comparing the conformations of uncut DNA with the cut DNA‚ the completed digestion could be verified. Molecular marker‚ which was used for molecular weight calculation‚ was stored in another sample tube. The prepared sample contained puC18 DNA would be run as the degrade DNA control

CASSAVA STARCH AS A MAJOR COMPONENT IN MAKING BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC ABSTRACT The purpose of this experiment is to be able to help the society with its environmental issues by creating biodegradable plastic out of cassava starch. The procedures that the researchers used in this investigatory project were all experimental and were based on Scientific Method. The researchers used environment-friendly materials which can be made into biodegradable plastics that will not harm the environment

AN INVESTIGATION TO FIND THE EFFECT OF BILE SALTS OF ON THE DIGESTION OF LIPIDS I have investigated that if there is an effect of bile salts on the digestion of lipids in the milk. When lipids are broken down in to fatty acids and glycerol (see below)‚ the acid lowers the pH of the mixture. To help me determine and measure the digestion of lipids‚ a pH indicator phenolphthalein has been used to measure the pH of the mixtures. The pH indicator will change the colour from pink to either white (if

ANAEROBIC DIGESTION ON BIODEGRADABLE WASTE FOR METHANE GAS CAPTURE BIODEGRADABLE WASTE: Biodegradable waste is a type of waste‚ typically originating from plant or animal sources‚ which can be decomposed by other living organisms. Biomass‚ manure‚ sewage‚ municipal waste‚ green waste and plant materials are some of these common biodegradable waste. ANAEROBIC DIGESTION: This is a series of biological processes in which microorganisms breakdown biodegradable materials in the absence of oxygen

aims to produce biodegradable plastic using cassava starch as its main component. Cassava starch was mixed with water‚ epoxydized soya bean oil (ESBO)‚ glycerol‚ and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The mixture was then compressed and tested. Three preparations were made from the mixture. The first preparation contained 50 grams starch‚ 50 grams water‚ 50 grams PVA‚ 2.5 grams ESBO‚ and 2.5 grams glycerol. The second preparation contained 65 grams starch‚ 65 grams water‚ 50 grams PVA‚ 2.5 grams ESBO‚ and 2
