The effect of pH on enzyme activity Rationale Amylase is an enzyme involved in the digestion system which catalyses the breakdown of starch into sugars. It is not only present in human saliva but also in the pancreas‚ where it hydrolyses dietary starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides which are converted by other enzymes to glucose to supply the body with energy. pH has an effect on the activity of all enzymes‚ including amylase. As the pH level increases‚ the enzyme activity increases‚ up

Technology is fundamental to the understanding of internal body systems as it can be used to diagnose‚ monitor‚ or treat any diseases or conditions in the digestive‚ circulatory‚ and respiratory system. Numerous forms of technology can be used to diagnose diseases in the three internal systems earlier. Additionally‚ technology has helped people better understand how these systems work in order to improve the quality of health care provided and have better treatment options. Based on all the knowledge

Two experiments were performed to investigate the effects of temperature on the growth rate pine seedlings. Experiment 1 A batch of 60 pine seedlings (Batch I) was grown in a greenhouse under controlled temperatures. Ten plants were grown at each of six temperatures from 50 C to 300 C. These plants remained at their original temperatures 24 hours each day for two weeks. All other conditions were the same for all seedlings. The growth rates are shown in Table 1. Table 1. Growth rates for pine

Lab #6: pH Effects and Enzyme Concentration on Catecholase Activity Abstract: This experiment examined the effect on how the changes in pH balance of potato juice affected the enzyme activity‚ structural stability and solubility. Introduction: Enzymes are macromolecules that allow chemical reactions to occur. They function as biological catalysts. A catalyst is a substance that is involved in‚ but not changed by or consumed in‚ a chemical reaction. The amount of energy required for a reaction

How does lava temperature impact viscosity and velocity? The higher the temperature the lower the viscosity which allows it to develop a smooth surface skin‚ but this is quickly broken up by flow of molten lava‚ it creates a rough‚ clinkery surface. The lower the temperature of the magma the higher the viscosity which allows the lava to travel down the slope. In the group the average velocity was 0.91 cm/s . How the “lava” flowed was in a high viscosity and a low velocity because the “lava” was

experiment to find the optimum temperature and pH for starch on amylase. The experiment was carried out in one day. The researcher and a partner did the experiment based on a lab manuel from class. Data was collected from the experiment and to be displayed on graphs. Then the optimum pH and temperatures were to be calculated based on the findings. The hypothesis was disproved due to the optimum pH of 5 but the other findings supported the hypothesis of the optimal temperature being 45 degrees Celsius.

How does pH affect the activity of the Amylase? Abstract: In my experiment I aimed to observe how ranging pH levels will affect the rate in which amylase will break down the starch molecules. I will be measuring the time it takes for the dark liquid to disappear and leave a yellow brown liquid to be shown‚ which would show that there is no starch present in the solution because it would have broken into maltose by adding amylase. Results did not fully demonstrate what we expected in our hypothesis

The Health Effects of Caffeine on the Human Body Caffeine‚ known as a “drug” is something that many people consume on a daily basis. It is very common and can be consumed in many different ways. Caffeine can be consumed through drinks‚ medicine and/or foods. In one way or another‚ caffeine is used as a stimulant to help during the day when most being to feel tired or sluggish. Caffeine is considered a pick me up and helps to boost ones energy level in order to complete daily tasks. The taste of caffeine
