pH Affecting on Amylase Enzyme Is there a difference in the concentration of pH in the amylase enzyme activity? The null hypothesis would be that there will be no difference in the concentration of pH and alternative hypothesis would be that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The predication if that there will be a difference in the concentration of pH. The pH affects on enzyme activities‚ one of the enzyme that was used in the process was amylase. When a serial dilution was

Research Question: Effects of pH on amylase activity Introduction: Amylase is an enzyme that is in human’s saliva as well as the pancreas. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up a chemical reaction. They break down complex molecules into simple ones. In this case‚ amylase converts starches (complex molecule) into simple sugars. That is why foods like potatoes for example‚ may taste sweet to us‚ because they contain starch. The optimum pH for pancreatic amylase is the pH of 7. In

tested the effects 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

This study focuses on the effect that temperature has on the enzyme amylase. Enzymes are composed of proteins and acts as a catalyst to speed up the rate of a specific chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. Reactions do not need enzymes to occur‚ but the human body and other living organisms depend on the use of enzymes in order for biochemical reactions to happen in milliseconds. Each enzyme contains a distinct three dimensional structure which is related to its particular function

Effect of Substrate Choice On Growth Of Mealworms Abstract: The experiment is designed to show which substrate A or B will better nourish a mealworm. A mealworm was placed in each substrate for a period of seven days and the change in mass from Day 1 to Day 7 was compared. The data was compiled and statistically analyzed. The experiment failed to reject the null hypotheses that there would be no difference in the two substrates regarding meal worm growth

Abstract This lab was focused on determining the optimal temperature of the enzyme amylase responsible for catabolizing starch polymers and to see how different temperatures affected the rate as well as how effectively the enzyme worked. To proceed with the experiment the group set up four different test tubes for each‚ bacteria and fungal amylase‚ and labeled them accordingly with different temperatures as well as different solutions . Then the spot plates were placed on the time and temperature

PH level of Amylase Background info: What is Amylase? Amylase is an enzyme that helps digest carbohydrates. It is produced in the pancreas and the salivary glands. (Dugdale & Longstreth‚ 2011) Factors Affecting Amylase: Things that affect the efficiency of Amylase are temperature and pH levels. (Wikimedia Foundation‚ Inc‚ 2013) Function in the body: The function of Amylase in the human body is to break down plant-based starch sources. Therefore‚ providing the human body with more
