    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

    metabolized in the body! Digestion is the chemical breakdown of food molecules into smaller molecules that can be used by various cells within the body. The breakdown is initiated when food is ingested in the mouth and specific enzymes are exposed to components within the food molecules. Digestion begins in the mouth with mastication‚ or chewing‚ performed by the teeth. The purpose of chewing is to grant the food more exposure to enzymes‚ therefore allowing chemical digestion to occur faster. The presence

    Biology- Change in pH Aim: To investigate the affect that change in pH levels has on a particular enzyme‚ in this case amylase. Hypothesis: In this investigation I expect as the pH reaches the optimum level‚ the rate of reaction will be fastest‚ compared to other pH levels. It is also suspected that after the enzyme has reached optimum level the enzyme activity will decrease. Through further study of the optimum level of amylase I found that the enzyme usually has an optima pH of 8. It is known

    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

    Santos‚ Val Justin D.M. Tongco* College of Science‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila Philippines Abstract Salivary amylase‚ found in humans‚ is enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into simpler compounds. Its enzymatic activity is affected by several factors‚ such as temperature and pH. The rates of enzymatic activity of salivary amylase in different temperatures and pH were measured and resulted to be very near 50 C and 7 respectively. However‚ due to some errors that were committed‚

    build and nourish cells; and to provide energy. Food travels though the digestive tract by muscle contraction called peristalsis. This journey of digestion can take up to twenty four hours. Digestion begins in the mouth where the teeth break food down into smaller particles during mastication. Salivary glands secrete saliva which begins chemical digestion and keeps the food moist. Swallowed food is pushed into the pharynx by the contraction of multiple muscle of the face‚ neck and tongue. The soft

    1 The Limits of Amylase 2-1-14 Abstract This report explains the purpose of this experiment in a way that conveys information to the reader about Amylase’s ability to withstand acidic or basic pH. To do this‚ two test tubes were both filled with 5mL of a 5% amylase solution. The first one was filled with an acid‚ while the other was filled with a base. After dropping liquid Iodine and Benedict’s solution into each one‚ the tube with a basic pH tested positive for glucose. The acidic solution

    How insulin effects digestion Insulin is a hormone that is produced in specialized cells in the islets of Langerhans‚ a part of the pancreas. The main role of insulin is to regulate the body’s use of sugars and other nutrients. The process is initiated during and immediately after the process of digestion breaks down carbohydrates into sugar molecules (including glucose) and proteins into amino acids. Right after a meal‚ glucose and amino acids are absorbed directly into the bloodstream
