Activity 1: Assessing Starch Digestion by Salivary Amylase (pp. 104–105)

10. Tubes 2, 6, and 7 showed the effect of pH on amylase activity. The results of this experiment indicate that the activity maximum of amylase is at pH 7.0, whereas pH 2.0 and pH 9.0 demonstrated very little activity. In this experiment, pH 7.0 showed the highest level of amylase activity. Tube 3 showed that amylase did not contain maltose contamination. Tubes 3, 4, and 5 showed that water had no starch or maltose contamination. Tube 3 directly showed that water did not have maltose or starch contamination. Tube 4 was a starch control (with the same water) that showed no maltose, and tube 5 was a maltose control (also with water) that showed no starch. If control tubes 3, 4, or 5 were not done, then what is perceived as digestion might really be starch or maltose contamination. Saliva would not be active in the stomach because the stomach pH is too low. Boiling inactivates, or denatures, enzymes.

Activity 2: Assessing Cellulose Digestion (pp. 105–107)

10. Tubes #4, 5, and 6 showed that starch or cellulose was still present. Tubes #1, 2, 3, and 7 showed positive tests for the Benedict’s reagent, indicating the presence of reducing sugar. Freezing had no effect. Freezing does not restrict enzyme activity, unlike boiling. Amylase had no effect on the cellulose in tube #4. Cellulose is digestible by bacteria. Peptidase had no effect on animal starch. Peptidase does not work on carbohydrate substrates so has no effect on digestion of these molecules.

Ask the questions you need help on, what exercise?

On Exercise 3. Q: Did the pepsin or deionized water contain and contaminating digested BAPNA? Which tubes confirm this?

Would it be that pepsin did and deionized water did not. Because tubes 2 and 5 did not have an optical density of 0.00? That was my first thought, but then tube 1 DID have and optical density of 0.00 and it had the same substances at tube 2.

Also on exercise 4...Q: Can you determine whether fat hydrolysis has occurred in tube 6? Explain your answer.

Would it be yes just because of the fact that the pH after incubation was different than the pH buffer added to the test tube

Activity 4: Assessing Fat Digestion by Pancreatic Lipase and the Action of Bile (pp. 109–111)

7. Tube 1 investigated the action of bile on enzyme activity, and tube 2 examined lipase activity without bile. Bile enhances fat digestion by lipase. Yes, you can determine if activity occurred in tube 6 because the pH would drop below pH 9.0. A small amount of fat digestion occurred because pH decreased from 9.0 to 8.97. The optimim pH for lipase activity was pH 7.0. Using a pH method to assay for activity at pH 2.0 does not work because the buffer is already quite acidic. There could have been activity at pH 2.0 that was not detectable by this method. In theory, lipase would be active in the mouth because its pH optimum is relatively neutral. However, it would not be active in the stomach because of the acidic pH condition. The substrate is vegetable oil (fat). The subunit formed is fatty acid (and monoglycerides).

When our class did this lab, this is what we were supposed to understand:

Pepsin and acid are more optimal for enzyme action - The acid helped the pepsin act more effeceintly. Boiling the test tubes sped up the process and allowed for a quicker reaction (the Benedict solution began changing color). That change in color was evidence of glucose.

What do tubes 2, 6 and 7 reveal about pH and amylase activity?-pH has a strong affect on amylase activity.

Which pH buffer allowed the highest amylase activity?-7.0

Which tube indicates that the amylase did not contain maltose?-3



Title: Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion
Post by: samsub91 on Mar 27, 2012
4.If control tubes were left out, what objections could be raised against the statement "Amylase digests maltose to starch"?
   Contamination of maltose or starch would yield a false positive result.

5.Why would the amylase present in the saliva not be active in the stomach?
   The pH in the stomach is too low.

6.    What effect does boiling have on enzyme activity?
   Boiling inactivates enzymes.

7.   Refer to the data you collected for Activity 2: Assessing Cellulose Digestion. Which tubes showed a positive test for the IKI reagent?
   Tubes 4, 5, and 6

8.Which tubes showed a positive test for the Benedict's reagent?
   Tubes 1, 2, 3, and 7

9.What was the effect of freezing tube 1?   
   Freezing had no effect.

10.How does the effect of freezing differ from the effect of boiling?
   Freezing has no effect on enzyme activity.

11.Which of the following explanations best describes the effect of amylase on glucose in tube 3?
   Amylase had no effect on the glucose.

12.What was the effect of amylase on cellulose in tube 4?
      Amylase had no effect on cellulose.

13. Judging from the results of tubes 4, 5, and 7, what can be concluded about the digestion of cellulose?
   Salivary amylase does not digest cellulose.

14.   What was the effect of peptidase in tube 6?
   Peptidase had no effect because it doesn't work on carbohydrate substrates.

15.   Refer to Activity 3: Assessing Protein Digestion by Pepsin. Which pH provided the highest pepsin activity?
   2.0

16.Tubes 1 and 2 contained the same substances. Why were their optical density measurements different?
      The contents of tube 1 were boiled, which inactivated the pepsin; therefore there was no activity in tube 1.

17.What would happen if the temperature were decreased to 10°C?
   The amount of BAPNA digested would be less.

18.   Refer to Activity 4: Assessing Fat Digestion by Pancreatic Lipase and the Action of Bile. What was the difference in activity between test tubes 1 and 2?
   Tube 1 had greater activity because of the presence of bile.

19   Which pH resulted in maximum lipase activity?
      7.0

20.    In theory, would lipase be active in the mouth?
   Yes, in theory lipase would be active in the mouth because the pH optimum is relatively neutral.
