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 :)

Temka [501]

There have be found some fossils of ancient remains over the years. What the fossils from Atapuerca revealed about the hominins living in Europe at this time is below:

  • The Skull is known to show Interbreeding that took place with neandertals and their relatively healthy population.

  • The Fragment shows that there was a possibility of cannibalism in that area.

It shows that possible cannibalism took place as there were Cutmarks on various hominin bones found at Atapuerca mirror.

The relatively healthy population was found out through the study of the dentition of the Atapuerca hominins by anthropologists. It gave them a view into their diet and overall health.

The interbreeding with the Neandertals was shown through the Nuclear DNA that was gotten from bones and teeth of bones found at Sima de los Huesos
