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 :)

This is true. DNA ligase catalyzes phosphodiester bonds. Which occur between the sugar molecules in polynucleotides. Nucleotides are the monomer to DNA, which contain a ribose sugar.. making DNA ligase able to join pieces of DNA together.

What is a way for scientists to find out out about the internal pats of life science specimens. (I'm doing a crossword and I don
Naya [18.7K]

Dissection is one of the procedures through which scientists can find out about the internal parts of life science specimens.

Dissection in its literal terms is the cutting down of an object. The process involves cutting the parts and organs of an organism to study its anatomical structures. The process should be performed carefully so that the anatomy is not ruined and results are not misinterpreted.

Specimens are the samples related to living organisms used to visualize and study about them. These specimens can be deceased living organisms that are carefully preserved using chemicals. Other structures of the living organisms like their teeth, skin, exoskeleton, horns, etc. can also be considered a specimen.
