Introduction to Experiment 1: Starch Digestion by Amylase
In this experiment, we will look for evidence of starch digestion by testing solutions for the presence of starch and sugars. When starch is present, the iodine in Lugol’s solution turns the solution black, blue, or dark brown. If starch is not present, iodine will dye the solution a yellow color. Benedict’s reagent reacts with “reducing sugars,” including glucose, resulting in a green, orange, or red color. If sugars are not present, Benedict’s reagent remains a light blue color.

Protein digestion is a hydrolytic process regulated by pH changes in the gastro-intestinal track, and hormonal and enzyme releases at various stages of digestion. .. Protein digestion occurs during the gastric phase of digestion starting in the stomach. Protein digestion cleaves peptide bonds releasing peptides, and amino acids Protein digestion is a hydrolytic process involving proteases/ proteinases Protein digestion occurs at the active site of proteases and is effected by the catalytic triads.arrow_forwardThe stomach has two types of exocrine cells, chief cell which secrete an inactive form of the protein degesting enzymes pepsinogen, and parietal cells , which secrete hydrochloric acid that activates pepsinogen.Both cell types have an abundance of mitochondria ATP production.The chief cells need energy to synthesise pepsinogen and parietal cells need energy to transport hydrogen ions and chloride ions from the blood into the stomach lumen.Only one of this cell types has an extensive roung endoplasmic and abandant Golgi stacks. Would this be the chief cells or parietal cells?why?arrow_forward

The esophagus squeezes food into the stomach by wave-like muscle contractions. Peptidase enzymes in the small intestine break food molecules into smaller molecules. Which statement best describes changes to food during digestion? O The muscle contractions result in physical changes, while the action of the peptidase results in chemical changes. O The muscle contractions and the action of the peptidase both result only in physical changes.

- The digestive system has several important functions. The physiological processes involved in the uitlisation of food happens in a specific order. Explain why digestion needs to happen before absorption.

O The brain prefers glucose as an energy source, but can use ketone bodies O Muscle cannot use fatty acids as an energy source O In a well-fed human, approximately equal amounts of energy are stored as glycogen and as triacylglycerol O Fatty acids cannot be used as an energy source in humans because humans lack the enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle Amino acids are a preferable energy source over fatty acids Search Siarrow_forwardOrder the steps (from 1-16) by which a person can generate ATP from dietary fat. ATP synthesis coupled to the movement of protons down the proton concentration gradient occurs.

Fatty acids are degraded to acetyl-CoA, NADH…arrow_forwardHello, I do not understand this. May I get help with this physiology question? Steps leading to the correct answer would be helpful. Question: Humans are heterotrophs and gain nutrients from eating other organisms (even vegans). As a consequence, many of the proteins that we eat and start to digest are quite similar in composition to our own tissues. A major problem that our gastrointestinal tract therefore faces is how to prevent digestive juices from breaking down our own GI tract's proteins (called "auto-digestion"). When our body's solutions to auto-digestion fail, we develop peptic ulcers. Ouch! Which of the following is NOT a major example of how our bodies solve the problem of auto-digestion of our GI tract's proteins: (see image)arrow_forward
