Question

86 Graph of the Data Use the class averages for reaction information on graphing that appears in Laboratory 2. Make sure you late' rate in the preparation of a line graph. Consult the correctly 1 . 8 3 2 y-avis Did the data support your hypothesis? NO planation for any unexpected results. If not, provide a possible ex lidnt changeel tall From your observation, approximately what phH is optimal for pancreatic amy- lase activity?_ Explain what caused the lack of amylase activity at extreme pH levels. Based on what you've learned from this lab experiment, why do living sys tems produce natural buffers?

Explanation / Answer

The enzyme amylase main function is to convert starches into glucose that can be digested easily and get absorbed into the blood in humans and most animals. It breaks glycosidic bonds and change their basic structure using ionic charges.

Enzyme denature due to changes in pH by altering the ionic charges of protein. Ionic bonds results in the enzyme's functional shape. When the charge of an ion alters, though, the enzyme's shape get alter also, that results in variation of its function and this causes in the low level of an enzyme or compleately dissapear of this enzyme.

according to the given graph optimal pH for amylase activity is 3-4.

Buffers are an essential part of the biochemical procedure of living things because they favor to mantain the stable pH within body of an organism. Most of the important biochemical reactions of life occurs only at a narrow range of pH. The buffers presence confirm that the pH of body stay in this range, despite with the change in surroundings.
