Introduction The science of microbiology is all about microorganisms‚ what they do and how they work. Microorganisms are ubiquitous‚ and are a very important part of life everywhere since they have been around for billions of years. The two main themes associated with microbiology are (1) having an understanding of the nature and function of the microbial world‚ and (2) being able to apply that understanding of the microbial world so that the benefits to the Earth and humans are known(6).

catalyse the breakdown of food molecules. Different enzymes catalyse different reactions. The table below shows three enzymes and which reaction they catalyse. Enzyme Reaction catalysed Amylase Starch → sugars Protease Proteins → amino acids Lipase Lipids → fatty acids + glycerol Different parts of the gut produce different enzymes. The table below shows where three different enzymes are produced. Enzyme Where produced Amylase Salivary glands‚ pancreas‚ small intestine Protease Stomach

Pepsin- It’s a protein-digesting enzyme. Lipase- Hydrolyzes fats and oils. Salivary and Pancreatic Amylase- Enzymes found in the pancreatic juices and saliva. Bile acids- made in the liver and are responsible for emulsifying fats Activity 1 and Activity 2– Assessing Starch Digestion by Salivary

Digestive System Study Guide 1. Define the term digestion and explain its significance. The chemical and mechanical process of breaking down food and its absorption. Its essential to maintaining life. 2. Distinguish between mechanical digestion and chemical digestion. Chemical digestion is where complex food molecules are broken down to the basic building blocks by enzymes. Mechanical digestion is chewing‚ churning and segmentation. 3. Discuss the five digestive processes that overview the many functions

stains. Enzymes play an important role in producing or enhancing the nutrient value of food products for both humans and animals. The protease rennin‚ for example‚ is utilized in the production of cheeses while lactase is employed to remove lactose from milk for the benefit of persons who suffer from lactose intolerance as a consequence of a deficiency in

Lab Report 8 April 15th Exercise 8: Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion Lab Report Questions Activity 1 What is the difference between the IKI assay and Benedict’s assay? IKI assay detects the presence of starch‚ and the Benedict assay tests for the presence of reducing sugars as well as IKI turns blue black whereas Benedict is a bright blue that changes to green to orange to reddish brown with increasing levels of maltose What was the purpose of tubes #1 and #2? Why are they

Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion exercise T 8 he digestive system is a physiological marvel‚ composed of finely orchestrated chemical and physical activities. The food we ingest must be broken down to its molecular form for us to get the nutrients we need‚ and digestion involves a complex sequence of mechanical and chemical processes designed to achieve this goal as efficiently as possible. As food passes through the gastrointestinal tract‚ it is progressively broken down

The small intestine (or small bowel) is the part of the gastrointestinal tract following the stomach and followed by the large intestine‚ and is where much of the digestion and absorption of food takes place. It receives bile juice and pancreatic juice through heptopancreatic duct‚ controlled by Spincter of oddi. Ininvertebrates such as worms‚ the terms "gastrointestinal tract" and "large intestine" are often used to describe the entire intestine. This article is primarily about the human gut‚ though
