salivate is because your body wants to release an enzyme called amylase. Amylase is the enzyme found in your saliva. The purpose of this enzyme is to help in the digestion process (McD‚ 2002). Enzymes are biological catalyst that help speed up the reaction by lowering the activation energy. These enzymes allow your food to be digested at a faster rate (National Institute of Asian Medicine‚ 2007). There are many factors that can affect the efficiency of enzymes which include pH levels‚ the amount of

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.

Abstract This experiment analyzes the effects of how temperature affects bacterial and fungus amylase and also discovers the optimum temperature for these enzymes. The amylase was mixed with starch at temperatures of 0℃‚ 37℃‚ 57℃‚ and 90℃. Iodine was added to each mixture and colour changes in each case. Bacteria amylase was found to be effective at 55 0C as the temperature dropped drastically from 4.58℃ to 2.33℃. This shows that the amylase catabolized a lot of starch hence little is left which

Appropriate caution should be exercised when dealing with the Bunsen burner‚ hot water‚ and glassware. Purpose: Many plants store their energy in the form of starch‚ a polysaccharide made from repeating units of the monosaccharide glucose. Our bodie

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

Personality effects a person in several ways‚ one way would be the mother’s personality- which can help to create a child’s temperament through reinforcement‚ another would be how similar a person’s temperament can be to a twins and finally how it matures to accept or deny social norms. Examples of each of these instances can
