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 ________ a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
densk [106]
The smaller a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
Genetic drift is an evolutionary term which refers to the random changes in a population's allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance due to the random selection of alleles from the genetic pool in each generation. Genetic drift can lead to either loss of some alleles or the fixation of others (100% frequency). The effect of genetic drift is stronger in smaller populations. This is because, the larger the population, the larger the sample size and the slower the result of genetic drift.

4. Do you think 20 ml of soda has a greater mass than 20 ml of water? Design an experiment to test this. Explain how you will
IRISSAK [1]

Yes, in my opinion 20 ml of soda has a greater mass than 20 ml of water due to higher weight of soda particles as compared to water.

It is because solid substance is more denser than liquid. In 20 ml of soda, there are solid particles in it which make it heavier and denser than liquid water. In order to design this, we have to take two solutions, one having soda whereas the other has water in liquid form with equal concentrations. Then we have o find the density of both solution, that solution which has more density is considered as heavier than other solution. The density of soda is 2.54 g/cm³ whereas the density of water is 1 g/cm³ so it is clear that soda is denser than water.
