29
What does trypsin break down?
Proteins
30
What does trypsin produce?
Amino Acids
31
Why are carbohydrates so easy to break down?
They are small, they are close to glucose, they are water-soluble
32
Why are proteins so hard to break down?
They are complicated and designed to not come apart easily

34
What will a positive iodine test look like?
Violet/Dark Purple/Dark Blue/ Black
35
What is solution X? What evidence do you have?
Starch, due to the purple color indicating a positive result of the iodine
36

40
What is the purpose of bile?
To break down fats
41
What does bile do?
Helps lipids and water mix
42
What does bile produce?
Fatty Acids
43
What happened in 2B and what evidence do you have?
Oil mixed with the water due to the shift in color and positive result of the litmus paper
44
What is the purpose of litmus paper?
To indicate wether or not a liquid is acidic
45
What do the colors on the litmus paper mean?
Red means acidic Blue means neutral or basic/alkaline
46
What happened in 2C and what evidence do you have?
The pancreatic acid further broke down the oil(lipid) due to the color and result of the litmus paper
