Surname 1Students Name:Tutor:Course Code:Date:Laboratory Reports about AmylaseExperiment 1: Does Amylase Breakdown Starch?BackgroundHuman beings consume food to maintain metabolic activities in their body. Most of thefood which is consumed cannot be absorbed directly. However, digestion aids in the breakdownof food to smaller absorbable molecules. Enzymes in the body facilitates chemical digestion. It iswell-understood that digestion starts in the mouth and generally stops in the smaller intestine.One of the food that is digested is starch. Digestion of starch begins in the mouth and it is saidthat amylase is the enzyme responsible for the digestion of starch into maltose (). Since chemicaldigestion is enzyme specific, then we can investigate whether amylase is indeed the enzymeresponsible for the digestion of starch.ObjectivesThe main aim is to investigate enzyme responsible for the digestion of starch.HypothesisAmylase digests starch into maltoseSurname 2Experimental DesignI. RequirementsIn this experiment, the requirements are starch, amylase enzyme, iodine solution, a sourceof heat, an assortment of apparatus found in a Biology laboratory, and general consumables.II. Procedure1. The procedure to be followed is to prepare starch solution.2. Put three portions, each 1mL, into separate clean dry test-tubes.3. Take two portions of amylase solution and boil one portion for about ten minutes andleave the other fresh.4. Carefully transfer the t ...
