I wrote a paragraph summing the importance of Carbon a while back, see if it helps find your answer. :)

Carbon is an element on the periodic table with the symbol C, and the atomic number 6. There are many reasons that carbon is vital to life on earth, not only to humans but to plants as well. First of all, humans are made of eighteen percent carbon. It is not only found in humans, it is also found in every organism currently known, including plants in a technological way. To plants, carbon flows inside of their cells. They need it to create glucose which then works as food. To humans, it's used in many science sets. It is used in a vast array of compounds including gasoline. Gasoline is what keeps motors around the world running, and it's made up of hydrocarbons with at least 5 carbon atoms each. It also aids the greenhouse effect, keeping the earth warm and habitable by human beings.

In our bodies, enzymes in our saliva and pancreas hydrolyse polysaccarides like starch and dissacharides (sucrose) to produce gl
Stolb23 [73]

Explanation:

The enzymatic digestion of starch by amylase can be performed in the laboratory by several ways. But below there is an example of it

In order to have the best protein performance we have to set the temperature of the reaction to 37 celsius degrees.

  • Prepare a starch solution and spread into tubes
  • Prepare an amylase solution and spread into tubes
  • Adjust the pH to the optimum range with buffers, that is about 6.7 to 7.
  • Adjust the temperature of the tubes reaction to 37 celsius degrees.

The wrong temperature and the pH can unfold the enzymes and make the binding site inefficient.

  • Pipette the starch solution in the tubes with enzymes.

By the final step the glucose will be produced by the enzymatic digestion of amylase.

It's attached the scheme of the hydrolyzation of a starch strain
