Digested Food Lab Report

Decent Essays
Digested food is passed to the small intestine where it is broken down by enzymes
(maltase, sucrase and lactase) completing digestion of carbohydrates into glucose and ereprin breaks proteins down into amino acids.
The bile duct excretes bile into the duodenum where it acts on the partially digested foods. The chyme is moved along by peristalsis mixed with pancreatic and intestinal juices until digestion is completed. The end product is absorbed through the villi with the residue passed to the large

    Today, I concluded the experiment of last meal mix up. Through multiple test, I was able to decipher which stomach content belongs to what person. The first test was the brown paper bag test, which allows me to see if the stomach content contains lipids or not.. This involved taking a piece of bag paper and using a pencil to divide it into five sections. Next, I labeled each section with the number of the stomach contents.…

    Taste of Acetaminophen in Students who lack Bitter taste receptors for Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) Alexander Hernandez 3791590 PCB 3063 Genetics Lab Section U09 Abstract PTC is a lab created synthetic substance formulated very recently, while acetaminophen has a much longer history. The question is did the ability to taste each of these substances evolve differently over time. A PTC non-taster might still be able to taste acetaminophen even though they lack the PTC taste receptors.…

    • The stomach secretes acid and enzymes that digest food. Ridges of muscle tissue called reggae line the stomach. The stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion. The pyloric sphincter is a muscular valve that opens to allow food to pass from the stomach to the small intestine. Small intestine: • The small intestine or small bowel is the part of the gastrointestinal tract between the stomach and the large intestine, and is where most of the end absorption of food takes place.…

    The gall bladder stores bile in it and when a fatty meal is eaten, it excretes bile and the bile breaks down the fat and helps aid the digestion. The bile pigments go into the colon and give the faeces their colour and act as a deodorant. The gall bladder is an organ that is pear-shaped. It stores bile that is concentrated.…

    1. My model represents the digestive system excluding the mouth. The function of the digestive system is to ingest food, extract valuable nutrients from it, then excrete the wastes. The structure of the digestive system assists this function in many ways. The mouth is able to chew the food that we eat into smaller, easier to digest pieces (Cleveland).…

    Enzymes Lab Report

    When a blank containing boiled (denatured) enzyme instead of an active enzyme could be used but it would not be the better blank to use in this experiment. The better blank solution would have been the one with active enzyme because it would cause the spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance of every component in the blank except the substrate, creating a 100% transmittance. This allow the spectrophotometer to read everything that was not in the blank when the actual sample is inserted in because it would “blank” out all the components in the “blank” solution and only read the “uncommon” component. With the active enzyme, the spectrophotometer would “blank” out the enzyme and only read the substrate absorbance because according to the lab…

    The nervous system controls and affects the wolfs thinking, breathing and movement. The nervous system can be broken into 2 parts, the first part is called the central nervous system (CNS) this part has the brain and spinal cord included. The second part is called the peripheral nervous system (PNS) this connects the brain with the spinal cord to the other parts of the wolfs body. The digestion process starts at the mouth, the wolf swallows its food and it goes down to the stomach. Then the food goes to the first intestine, there acids and digestive juices turn the food into pulp, when the food reaches the large intestine the food goes slowly so that the last pieces of nutrients can be absorbed.…

    Rafaela Hajdini Bio 104- 55 November 11th 2014 Fermentation Lab Report Abstract: Introduction: Cellular respiration is a reaction that the majority of living organisms partake in to get adenosine triphosphate (ATP), by obtaining chemical energy, to synthesize in three different phases; glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain. Both glycolysis and the citric acid cycle are anaerobic pathways which means that oxygen is not need to form energy.…

    1. Flavin monooxygenase (FMO) and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) are both enzymes that are involved in phase I metabolism. They are classified as microsomal enzymes that require oxygen and NADPH. These enzymes are involved in the conversion of lipophilic compounds to more hydrophilic metabolites by adding molecular oxygen, which ensures rapid excretion. There are genetic variants with both classes of enzymes, which may contribute to interindividual variability in drug response.…

    Background information: Breathing: They breathe oxygen through gills. Gills are respiratory organs found in aquatic organisms, which allow the Yabby to remove the oxygen from the water for respiration. Each leg has a gill attached, with the movement of the legs helping the circulation of water over these gills. There is a thin layer of exoskeleton separating the gills from the body cavity, allowing water to cover the gills without getting inside the body.…

    The digestive system of a dog is composed of; the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, and large intestines but also requires help from organs such as the pancreas, and liver. The digestive systems roles are: digesting of food absorbing of nutrients Dog's digestive systems work differently to that of a human, for instance the digestion process begins in the stomach for dog's and in the mouth for humans. It is important for owners to have some idea of how the digestive system works in dog's so they can look out for symptoms that may signal the dog is unwell. The process of digestion begins after the food has passed through the mouth and traveled down the esophagus. The food then enters the stomach, and is broken down…

    Starch Lab Report

    In experiment 2.1, absorbance readings for both heated and unheated corn and tapioca starch were taken. For both starch’s the heated results came to be much higher then the un-heated as seen in Table 2.1. Iodine reacts with the amylose compound in starch where it gets trapped in the amylose coils and blue-ish colour is formed after the addition of Lugols reagent (Fennema and others 2008). The absorbance readings came out higher for heated corn starch because iodine had more amylose to react with. As corn-starch is heated gelatinization occurs where amylose is released since the starch granule is disrupted.…
