18
Q

What does De-natured mean

A

It is when a part of a cell, changes shape because of a change in pH or temperature

19
Q

3 examples of main digestive enzymes

A

Lipase, Protease, Amylase

20
Q

Core practical: pH and enzyme

A

One tube of starch
One tube of Amylase
Warm up

every 30, remove small sample and test with iodine
Stop when change stops

21
Q

How to test for Sugars

A

Add Benedict’s reagent to the food and boil in a water bath.

22
Q

How to test for starch

A

Add iodine reagent to the food.

23
Q

How to test for protein

A

Add Biuret reagent to the food.

24
Q

How to test for fats

A

Add ethanol to the food to dissolve the fat then add water.

25
Q

Why is amylase not produced in the stomach

A

Too high pH which would cause the denaturing of the active site

26
Q

Explain why catalysis by enzymes is important for life processes
