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 :)

The unequal distribution of charge in solutions on either side of a membrane will lead to a ________ of charge across the membra
Llana [10]

Answer:

e. separation : clustering

Explanation:

When the two sides of the membrane have an unequal buildup of charged particles, there is a charge separation on either side of the membrane. One side of the membrane becomes positively charged while the other becomes negatively charged. This also occurs during resting potential when the cytosol present close of the membrane of the neurons become negatively charged with respect to the extracellular fluid present on the other side of the membrane. This allows the accumulation of oppositely charged particles (here, the positively charged particles in the inside) across the membrane.

(surface tension, cohesion, polar, hydrogen bonding).
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

1. Polar 2. Hydrogen bonding 3. Cohesion 4. Surface tension

Explanation:

1. Water is a polar molecules due to the presence of unbalanced charges in its covalent bond.

2. This unbalanced charges causes the molecules to be polar and thus form hydrogen bonds with nearby molecules due to their opposite charges. The hydrogen atom carries the positive charge while the oxygen atom carries the negative charge. The opposing charges thus causes hydrogen and oxygen atoms in nearby molecules to be attracted to each other.

3. This attraction of the water molecules to each other is called cohesion. Cohesion is the force of attraction between similar molecules and this force of attraction is called a cohesive force.

4. Since the water molecules are attracted to each other due to a cohesive force, this cohesive force causes a thin film to form called surface tension. Thus, surface tension is the ability of the surface of a liquid to resist external forces due to cohesive forces in its molecules and thus form a thin film.

Lion vs elephant digestion lab
aalyn [17]

Answer:

In lions, digestion takes place in the stomach while in elephant, digestion takes place in cecum.

Explanation:

Lion eats meat which needs a powerful digestion of strong juices which helps in the breakdown of food. There are four compartments of the stomach of lion that are rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. These chambers have microorganisms which helps in the breakdown of food materials while in the elephant, the stomach primarily functions in the storage of food and digestion takes place in the cecum that is connected to the large intestine.
