  • Front
  • Back
enzyme
large protein molecules produced by body cells, they are catalysts
catalysts
increase the rate of chemical reaction without themselves becoming part of the product
hydrolases
digestive enzymes are hydrolytic enzymes or this ..
substrates
the molecules which are acted upon by enzymes
controls
specimens or standards against which experimental samples are compared
salivary amylase
enzyme produced by the salivary glands and secreted in the mouth
positive starch test
trying to find out if starch is present in your sample, you add iodine, if the solution turns blue-black this is a ....
negative starch test
trying to find out if starch is present in your sample, you add iodine, if the solution stays its original color of brown this is a ....
positive sugar test
trying to find out if sugar is present, you add benedict's solution, the solution turns green-orange this is a...
negative sugar test
trying to find out if sugar is present, you add benedict's solution, the solution does not change this is a....
enzyme assay
the chemical method of detecting the presence of digested substances
cellulose
plant sugar, humans can break down to an extent
trypsin
an enzyme produced by the pancreas, hydrolyzes proteins to small fragments
BAPNA
synthetic trypsin substrate consisting of a dye covalently bound to an amino acid. fake protein
Positive hydrolysis test
trying to find out if trypsin has broken down a peptide bond, the sample turns yellow, this indicates...
negative hydrolysis test
trying to find out if trypsin has broken down a peptide bond, the sample remains clear, this indicates...
glucose
sugar, disaccharide
peptidase
an enzyme that breaks down protein
pepsin
enzyme released by the chief cells in the stomach, breaks down protein
pancreatin
the enzymatic product of the pancreas, includes enzymes that digest proteins
pancreatic lipase
this enzyme hydrolyzes fats and oils to there component to their component monogylcerides and two fatty acids, or glycerol and 3 fatty acids
optical density
the measure of the amount of light absorbed by solution. This precisely measures how much BAPNA digestion occurred
bile
a secretory product of the liver, not an enzyme, this emulsifies fats, breaks them down. Emulsified fats provide a larger surface area for enzyme activity
deglutition (swallowing)
this occurs in two phases buccal (voluntary) and pharyngeal-esophageal (involuntary)
segmental movement
the local constrictions of the organ that occur rhythmically. Function by increasing the rate of absorption by mixing foodstuffs and digestive juices and in propulsion of food into the small intestine
peristaltic movement
major means of propelling food through most of the digestive vicera. Waves of contraction followed by waves of relaxation. involved more in food movement the mixing
