Amylase

using starch solution instead of maltose. When we did the test for digestion of starch. First, using separate medicine droppers, I transferred 3 ml of starch solution to a small beaker, then added a fresh enzyme solution consisting of a pinch of amylase in a 3ml of water and mixed thoroughly with a glass rod. Secondly, I waited for 1 min…

However, some dogs may have trouble maintaining a healthy weight when carbohydrates are removed. The Benefits of a Grain Free Diet Some grains can be very difficult for dogs to digest. Dogs lack salivary amylase, which is found in herbivores and omnivores and begins breaking grains down the moment they enter the mouth. A grain free diet is also beneficial for dogs that have diabetes and dogs with food intolerances. It results in better health and activity…

Biology Chapter 4 Extra Credit Essays 1. An electron microscope would be better than a light microscope because an electron microscope allows you to view objects much smaller than you can with a light microscope. It might be better to use a light microscope if you are viewing a live specimen and do not want to kill it. 2. Prokaryotic cells are small, simple, no nucleus, no membrane-bound organelles, single loop of DNA (nucleosome), no cellulose, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall (made of…

starch retrogradation process. At the time retrogradation occurs, amilosaa with amilosa and amilosa with amylopectin bonded with each other through hydrogen bonds, creating more compact starch structure and more resistant to hydrolysis by the enzyme amylase. The final result is the modified arrowroot starch’s RS level multiplied 6,4 than natural arrowroot starch. The example of this product is arrowroot cookies. Organoleptic anylisis from arrowroot cookies made from modified arrowroot starch is…

of digestion first occurs in the mouth, where the teeth is used to grind the food and break down the food into smaller food particles. When we chew, our teeth mechanically soften the food and the salivary glands produce an enzyme called salivary amylase, which mixes with and further breaks down, the food. The next stage in digestion happens in the stomach. The stomach secretes gastric juice which the stomach utilizes to prevent bacterial growth and kills bacteria in the food that enters the body…

through several stomach compartments, ruminants, as their food digests, until it exits the body as waste. Either way, all bodies must first ingest food by mouth, a primarily mechanical process. Food in the mouth is broken down by the enzyme salivary amylase, in saliva (and chewing, if the animal can), and is then sent down the pharynx and the esophagus (the tube that connects the pharynx and stomach), and into the stomach. Within an animal’s stomach (or stomachs, or gizzard after being stored in…

My partner and I were given unknown number 3 in the laboratory. After performing various tests over the course of a few weeks on our unknown, we came to the conclusion that our unknown organism is Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae). K. pneumoniae is a gram negative bacillus shaped microorganism. We observed that K. pneumoniae is a nonmotile organism. We performed multiple tests on our unknown culture, therefore we are very confident that it is correctly identified. We identified that K.…

magical secret sauce will first go through the mouth. When it goes through the mouth you chew it with your teeth forming a mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion is physically breaking down the food with your tongue and teeth. Saliva has enzyme amylase which begin with the chemical digestion of starches into sugars. It also contains water, mucus and electrolytes. The tongue hold participation in swallowing partially digested food, turning into a “ball” that could be swallowed. The tongue…

lactic acid fermentation, the groups were able to “produce” things like yogurt out of simple substances like skimmed milk and yogurt culture. With alcohol fermentation, the groups examined different types of sugar solutions combined with yeast and amylase. Moreover, with this lab we able to understand…

immediately but develops a few days after hypovolemia and so is not a diagnostic tool in early presentation. Diagnoses Acute pancreatitis is confirmed by medical history, physical examination, and typically a blood test (amylase or lipase) for digestive enzymes of the pancreas. Blood amylase or lipase levels are typically elevated 3 times the…
