Anaerobic digestion Anaerobic digestion is a series of processes in which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen‚ used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste and/or to release energy. The digestion process begins with bacterial hydrolysis of the input materials in order to break down insoluble organic polymers such as carbohydrates and make them available for other bacteria. Acidogenic bacteria then convert the sugars and amino acids into carbon dioxide

Human Digestion Activity The digestive process involves the mixing of food‚ the movement of food through the digestive tract‚ and a chemical breakdown of large molecules of food into smaller molecules. The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract and other organs that aid in digestion. The digestive tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long‚ twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. Those twisted tubes include the mouth‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small and

TITLE : IDENTIFICATION OF BIOCHEMICALS IN PURE FORM AND IN COMMON FOODSTUFFS AIM: THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS EXPIREMENT IS TO PERFORM TESTS ON A VARIETY OF COMMON FOODS TO IDENTIFY THE CHEMICALS THEY CONTAIN AND TO TEST PURE SAMPLES OF BIOCHEMICALS TO GAIN FAMILIARITY WITH THE COLOUR CHANGES. RESULTS: TABLE 1 : BIOCHEMICAL TESTS ON PURIFIED BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCES SAMPLE | TEST | OBSERVATION | Glucose | Reducing Sugar | The initial blue colouration of the mixture turns green

Biology Digestion IA 13/03/2013 Jason Gao Rationale: Digestion is the chemical breakdown of food into smaller components that are more easily absorbed. Digestion is a form of catabolism: a breakdown of large food molecules to smaller ones. When food enters into stomach‚ gastric juice starts protein digestion. Gastric juice mainly contains hydrochloric acid and pepsin. The pH value of hydrochloric in the stomach

that 1%‚ 4%‚ and 16% Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Concentration Had on the Rate of Reaction of Catecholase Enzymes in a Potato (Solanum tuberosum). Abstract Enzymes are a key component of a cell. They make chemical reactions happen faster because they lower the activation energy to make the chemical reaction occur. Most of the time‚ it is best if enzymes produce as efficiently as possible‚ but in some cases it is better if they do not‚ when dealing with potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). If the catecholase

Lab Final Exam: Acids and Enzymatic Reaction Purpose: To examine how an acidic fluid will modify the outcome of an enzymatic reaction. Introduction: Enzymes are “specialized proteins made by living cells that serve as biological catalysts.” (eScience Labs‚ LLC‚ 2013) These enzymes “allow certain industrial processes to be carried out at normal temperatures and pressures‚ thereby reducing the amount of energy and expensive equipment needed.”(BBC‚ 2012) Enzymatic activity can be affected by
