Enzymes Flashcards
1
Q
what is alkaline phosphatase
A
enzyme that will turn solution yellow
2
Q
because alkaline reflects yellow, what light does it absorb?
A
violet
3
Q
absorbance and reflects of light
A
absorbs red-> reflects green. absorbs orange reflects blue
4
Q
what is Beer’s law and its components
A
A= Ecl A= absorbance. how much light is absorbed E= extinction coefficient. c= the concentration of the molecule l= the "path length" or distance in cm
5
Q
Beer’s law- relationship between light absorbance and concentration
A
absorbance is directly proportional to concentration. “the absorbance increases when there are more yellow molecules”
6
Q
what is the optimal pH for pepsin
A
2
7
Q
what is the optimal pH for amylase
A
7
8
Q
what is the optimal pH for Trypsin
A
9
