Question 10
What role does the amylase inhibitor play in this simulation? (1 point)
Responses

It decreases the activity of the amylase enzyme.
It has no effect on the activity of the amylase enzyme.
It prevents the amylase enzyme from functioning.

Question 6
After those two simulations, what is a logical conclusion you can reach?(1 point)
Responses
Any enzyme will break down any molecule
Any enzyme will break down any molecule
Some enzymes can break down more than one substrate
Some enzymes can break down more than one substrate
Enzymes are specific to a substrate
Enzymes are specific to a substrate
Question 7
What did you observe when amylase and starch touched during the simulation? (You may need to run it a few times to catch it)(1 point)
Responses
Nothing, starch remained the same.
Nothing, starch remained the same.
Starch was broken down to glucose
Starch was broken down to glucose
Starch was broken down to maltose
Starch was broken down to maltose
Starch was broken down to glucose then, maltose.
Starch was broken down to glucose then, maltose.
Hit the reset button and then set the following settings on the Simulation.
Starch: 3
Amylase: 2
Temp: 35
Maltose: 0
Maltase: 2
pH: 7
Glucose: 0
Amylase Inhibitor: 0
Question 8
After letting the simulation run for about a minute, answer whether something true or falsethat happened during this simulation. (1 point)
True False
All starch was converted into maltose and then glucose.
True – All starch was converted into maltose and then glucose.
False – All starch was converted into maltose and then glucose.
When maltose touched amylase it was turned back into starch.
True – When maltose touched amylase it was turned back into starch.
False – When maltose touched amylase it was turned back into starch.
The end result was enzymes bouncing around with only maltose molecules.
True – The end result was enzymes bouncing around with only maltose molecules.
False – The end result was enzymes bouncing around with only maltose molecules.
Only glucose and enzymes were present at the end.
True – Only glucose and enzymes were present at the end.
False – Only glucose and enzymes were present at the end.
Hit the reset button and then set the following settings on the Simulation.
Starch: 0
Amylase: 5
Temp: 35
Maltose: 0
Maltase: 0
pH: 7
Glucose: 0
Amylase Inhibitor: 0
Question 9
For this question, you will need to adjust the pH until all of the enzymes are denatured. At what pH does all of the amylase become denatured? You must reset the simulation many times as you adjust the pH only. Make the solution more basic and more acidic until all of the enzymes are denatured. (1 point)
