Research Question How will the addition of different pH buffers to amylase affect the rate of starch digestion measured using starch and iodine? Introduction Amylase is an enzyme found in human saliva and pancreas. It is the digestive enzyme that is needed to breakdown starch molecules. Amylase must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level. This experiment will explore the effect of pH (1‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10‚ and 14) on the function of amylase by using starch and iodine. Usually

Common Ion Effect HA(aq) + H2O(l) ⇔ A−(aq) + H3O+(aq) • Adding a salt containing the anion NaA‚ which • is the conjugate base of the acid (the common ion)‚ shifts the position of equilibrium to the left This causes the pH to be higher than the pH of the acid solution 9lowering the H3O+ ion concentration

single drops of iodine solution in rows on the tile. * Label a test tube with the pH to be tested. * Use the syringe to place 2 cm3 of amylase into the test tube. * Add 1 cm3 of buffer solution to the test tube using a syringe. * Use another syringe to add 2 cm3 of starch to the amylase/ buffer solution. Start the stop clock and leave it on throughout the test. Mix using a plastic pipette. * After 10 seconds‚ use the plastic pipette to place one drop of the mixture on the first

Five clean spectrophotometer tubes wereare necessary with the different temperatures labeled on them using a wax pencil (Blank‚ Room Temp‚ 35 degrees Celsius‚ 45 degrees Celsius‚ and 55 degrees Celsius). Then 1mL of

was added to the solution. By performing this experiment‚ it was found that with increasing amounts of buffer in the prepared solutions there was better resistance against pH changes. This was because the strong acid or base was converted to it’s weak conjugate. The solution with little or no buffer had no resistance to pH changes. The Irresistible

In computer science‚ a buffer is a region of a physical memory storage used to temporarily store data while it is being moved from one place to another. Typically‚ the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device (such as a microphone) or just before it is sent to an output device (such as speakers). However‚ a buffer may be used when moving data between processeswithin a computer. This is comparable to buffers in telecommunication. Buffers can be implemented in a fixed memory
