Pancreatic amylase is a digestive enzyme that digests starch in the small intestine. pancreatic amylase's optimum pH is slightly

basic, which the presence of NaHCO3 provides. indicate which test tubes (1-3) would show digestion of starch following incubation. Explain why the others would not.
Tube 1 = water, starch
Tube 2 = water, starch, pancreatic amylase, HCI
Tube 3 = water, starch, pancreatic amylase, NaHCO3

Answer:

Tube 3

Explanation:

Pancreatic amylase's optimum pH is basic, NaHCO3 is a base so it will provide the optimum pH for the enzyme to catalyse the breakdown of starch.

In tube 1 there will not be the breakdown of starch as there simply isn't any enzyme to break it down.

In Tube 2, the enzyme pancreatic amylase will most probably become denatured (loss of shape), as HCl is acidic which causes it to lose shape causing a change in the active site and will never be able to catalyse the breakdown of starch.

Hope this helps :)

Why does every one have cells
jeyben [28]
<span>Everyone has cells because these are the building blocks of life. These tiny particles that clump into groups that form tissues, organs, and organ systems are what makes organisms distinct from non-living things that exist on Earth. Where there are cells, life is present, and in its absence life cannot exist as we know of today. Cells are responsible for bringing different species of organisms that are found in different ecosystems all over Earth. They are tiny but in groups they are responsible for every living organisms that have existed through time.  </span>
