Introduction This practical experiment was performed in an attempt to observe how enzymes (starch phosphorylase in particular) are affected by varying its temperature before introducing it to the substrate it will be reacting with. A catalyst (enzyme) is a substance that changes the rate of a reaction; for a reaction to take place at all‚ the enzyme must first come into contact with the substrate. Enzymes are subject to a number of factors which effect how fast they can cause a reaction with a substrate;

report Aim : To check the presence of starch in the leaves Hypothesis : the presence of starch can be detected if the specimen turns black blue after iodine solution. Materials : 1) Green leaves 2) Wire gauze 3) Iodine solution 4) Forceps 5) Specula 6) Bunsen’s burner 7) Test tube 8) Water 9) Tile 10) tripod stand 11) glass 12) slide 13) dropper 14) water 15) water bath Procedure: collect dark green leaves (as leaves contain starch) take a water bath and let it heat with

Amylases are enzymes that break down starch or glycogen. Amylases are produced by a variety of living organisms‚ ranging from bacteria to plants and humans. Bacteria and fungi secrete amylases to the outside of their cells to carry out extracellular digestion. When they have broken down the insoluble starch‚ the soluble end products such as (glucose or maltose) are absorbed into their cells. Amylases are classified based on how they break down starch molecules i. α-amylase (alpha-amylase)

glucose-1-phosphate‚ 1% maltose‚ honey‚ 1% 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

One example would be the “Biodegradable plastic bags” made from the starch of the Cassava plant (Manihot esculent). The new plastic has been able to capture the interests of buyers‚ enabling it to advocate the benefits and obvious effects one can receive from using an eco friendly product.

PLANNING COURSEWORK- STARCH AND AMYLASE AIM The aim of this coursework is to investigate the effect of temperature change‚ on the rate of hydrolysis of starch catalysed by amylase. PREDICTION I think that as the temperature increases‚ the rate of reaction also increases‚ to a point when it dramatically decreases. On graph 1‚ you will see a sketch of the graph which I expect to be the result of the experiment. SCIENCE REASONING I think my prediction is correct because the rate of

sizes of molecules and how the chemical reactions take place. Therefore‚ the experiment was conducted using glucose and starch solution inside the dialysis tube. The starch and glucose that was put inside the dialysis tube help identify which of the two will reacted with potassium iodide inside the breaker‚ as the latter passed from the beaker into the tube‚ the glucose/starch solution’s change of color showed that the potassium iodide was small enough that it able to pass through from the solution

What amount of amylase is the best to produce a better reaction with starch? A 1% solution of amylase‚ made from 0.15g of amylase added to 15ml of water‚ a 2% solution of amylase made of 0.3g of amylase added to 15ml of water‚ and a 0.5% solution of amylase made of 0.75g of amylase to 15ml of water were created. A 0.25% starch solution was also created‚ and 3ml was added to each of the 4 test tubes. 1 drop of iodine was added to each test tube. 4ml of the 1% solution was added to the first test
