Summary Introduction

To determine:

The chemical basis for the name of hydrolase that is used in the digestive system to breakdown large food molecules into smaller ones that our cells can assimilate.

Introduction:

Digestion is breakdown of larger food particles into smaller food particles. The digestive system hydrolyzes macro molecules which can be carbohydrates, proteins and fats present in the food into their respective subunit and absorb these subunit molecules and eliminate the waste.

Introduction to Experiment 3: Lipid Digestion by Lipase In this experiment, we will investigate lipid digestion.  Remember that lipids include fats, so the two terms are often used interchangeably.  To do this, we will use litmus cream, which is a mixture of cream and litmus.  Cream contains triglycerides (neutral fats).  Litmus is a pH indicator.  Purple indicates a neutral pH.  Pink indicates an acidic pH.  Blue indicates a basic pH.  How do bile salts act on a mixture of fat and water? ________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ What is/are the end product(s) of fat digestion? _____________________________________________________________________ Is either of these end products acidic? If so, which one? ____________________________________________________________ Hypotheses/Predictions (See Methods section for details):  : Which of the tubes do you expect will have the most digestion…
During digestion, the presence of proteases makes proteins be digested first. Given this occurrence, what is the catalytic rc of the proteases? (Reference: https://www.britannica.com/science/proteolytic-enzyme) It does not do anything directly to the digestion process of proteins It boosts the digestion process to match the digestion of all food matter It slows down the digestion process of other food matter It speeds up the digestion of proteins ingested by the organism 0000
