“Mommy mommy mommy!” “Yes sweetheart.” “Can we get a cheeseburger?” “Sure‚ but do you know how the cheeseburger is digested” “No.” “Do you want to know?” “Sure.” “First the burger goes through the mouth” “What is a ‘mouth’?” “A mouth is a part of the body where people use mechanical digestion and use their teeth to break down their food. With the help of saliva produced by the salivary glands‚ which produce enzymes‚ food is able to be broken down further. This is also the place where ingestion takes

The role of salivary amylase in the digestion of starches remains controversial. In the absence of pancreatic amylase‚ the key enzyme for starch digestion‚ salivary amylase may well represent a potential compensatory alternate pathway for the digestion of amylose‚ amylopectin‚ and glycogen. Clinically significant depression of pancreatic amylase occurs in chronic pancreatitis‚ pancreatic resection‚ pancreatic neoplasm‚ cystic fibrosis‚ and other causes of pancreatic insufficiency. Quantitation

Practical 12: Digestion in Humans Aim: To distinguish between 5 liquids to come to a conclusion from which region of the alimentary canal it was extracted from. Hypothesis In this practical‚ we have been given 5 unknown solutions hence it is not possible for us without any logical analysis to come up with a conclusion regarding the positioning along the alimentary canal. We cannot come up with a proper answer or predict results without running through the tests. I though can base my

3.0 Introduction The methodology involves five main steps; the collection of hair samples‚ the distribution of questionnaires‚ the washing of samples‚ the digestion of the samples‚ and the analysis of metal contents in the hair. 3.1 Materials and reagents used during the experiment The apparatus and chemicals that were used in the previously mentioned experimental steps are summarised in table 3.0. Steps Materials Reagents Collection of hair samples 1. Stainless Steel Scissors 2. Plastic bags

Objective: To investigate how pH affects the rate of protein digestion Hypothesis: I predict that since pepsin breaks down the material the quickest at a pH of 2 in the stomach‚ test tubes #3 will reduce the greatest because it has pepsin to further break down the egg. Whereas the other test tubes will have a smaller reduction. I think test tube #2 will have the second largest reduction rate and then #6 because they all will have a greater rate at breaking down the material‚ Then‚ I predict the

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

BIO 219 Group 1 Section 66 October 19‚ 2012 The extraction of purified DNA from A. fischeri by restriction digestion using Sal I enzyme and pGEM for shotgun cloning Introduction: The ultimate goal of this experiment is to isolate the lux operon‚ a targeted piece of DNA that causes bioluminescence‚ from Aliivibrio fischeri and insert it into the DNA of Escherichia coli in order to make it glow. A. fischeri is a gram-negative bacteria which participates in a symbiotic relationship with

The first half of module seven discussed protein digestion‚ absorption‚ and metabolism; while the second half focused on pathological stress and kidney disease. Protein digestion occurs in the stomach and small intestine. When a protein reaches the stomach it is denatured by hydrochloric acid. Once the protein is digested pepsin breaks apart the denatured protein into peptides. Peptides move into the small intestine where they encounter an enzyme that digest the peptides into di- or tripeptides‚

Lockhart Biology Lab Report November 4‚ 2013 Title: Starch Digestion by Pancreatic Amylase Statement of the Problem: What happens to enzymes when they are boiled? If digestion doesn’t occur‚ which will be present starch or maltose? If digestion does occur‚ which will be present starch or maltose? Hypothesis: I predict that when enzymes are boiled‚ they will become larger. If digestion does not occur starch will be present‚ and if it does occur maltose will be present. Materials: Test Tube

are several parts to this iLab. Part 1 consists of listing all of the parts of the digestive system with either a list or photo. Many people take a screenshot and use it for Part 1. Feel free to also list the parts as well if you cannot figure out how to take a screenshot. 2.) Part 2 technically consists of two parts. The first one includes describing the location of each body part. For example‚ the appendix is located on the right side of the body under the ascending colon. Another way to
