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

Abstract The researcher is conducting this 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 Effect of Starch on the Activity of Amylase with pH Variable Lab Report‚ Fall 2011 East Tennessee State University Department of Biological Sciences By: Shelby Brackett Date Performed: October 10‚ 2011 Lab Instructor: Joseph Kusi Biology 1111‚ Section 018 Abstract Enzymes are very important in chemical reactions. They are used to speed up the reaction taking place. They act by binding to a specific substrate and form an enzyme-substrate complex that may put stress on chemical bonds

temperature affects the rate in which Amylase breaks down starch into maltose. In this reaction starch is the substrate and maltose is the product. Amylase is an enzyme‚ Enzymes‚ also called catalysts‚ are in living things and there are thousand of them. Enzymes break down food by the active site on the Enzyme forming a chemical bond with a substrate and then water attacks the substrate until it is hydrolysed (split in 2). Equipment: Boiling tubes Timers/ stopwatch Starch Solution of Amylase colourless

Reaction Rates of Barley Alpha Amylase with Starch at Specific pH ’s and Temperatures Page 1 Abstract Enzyme ’s are used as catalysts in certain reactions. They help lower the activation energy needed for the reaction to go to completion. At optimum temperature and pH the amount of collisions of substrate and enzyme is at its highest‚ any deviation from the optimum temperature and pH will result in the denaturization of the enzyme. The purpose of this experiment is to find the optimum

found in and out of cells and lower the activation energy of a reaction. Amylase is the enzyme which catalyses starch hydrolysis. Alpha amylase and beta amylase are two types of amylase enzymes. The amylase which is the most commonly found in the human body is the alpha amylase. Beta amylase is mainly found in bacteria‚ fungi and plants. Amylase breakdown starch into maltose. During the process of hydrolysis‚ Amylase degrades starch by splitting the long glucose units into smaller intermediates and finally

DIGESTION OF CARBOHYDRATES Digestion of carbohydrate begins in the mouth‚ with the secretion of the enzyme salivary amylase from the serous cells of the salivary gland. This enzyme breaks starch and glycogen into disaccharides. The mucous cells of the salivary gland secrete a mucus‚ which causes the food to stick together‚ and acts as a lubricant to aid in swallowing. The salivary glands are grouped into three categories: the parotid gland‚ submandibular glands‚ and sublingual‚ all located

Amylase Enzyme vs. Starch vs. pH vs. Temperature Taylor Ellsworth Professor Michael Bunch Cell Biology 112 “Effects of Amylase reaction time when breaking down starch.” Experiment Goal: The goal of our experiment was to understand the similarities in digestion by finding out how long it takes for the amylase enzyme‚ found in saliva‚ to break down our substrate‚ starch. Hypothesis: While understanding that starch is broken down by our saliva (amylase enzyme) we predict that the higher
