Problem
Alternatively, if you are unable to safely obtain a potato or the pH solutions, go to the following website and answer the questions below. Once complete, analyze the results provided after the questions. Create a table
and graph the results.
YouTube Video: "pH Enzyme Lab".
1) What solutions are being used?
2) What enzyme is being tested? What is the function of this enzyme?
3) Describe the experimental setup. How will this enzyme's activity be monitored over time?
4) Briefly discuss the procedures used in this video.
5) Create a table and record the results for each time slot.
6) Explain the results. What does this indicate about the optimum pH of amylase?
7) What other chemical test could have been used to detect this enzyme's activity besides iodine?
8) Imagine you were able to conduct the lab using a potato. Analyze your results below. Read the procedure from the experiment above (step 1) to better understand the setup. Create a table (be sure to quantify your results as explained in the Introduction section) and graph the results.
