Hit the reset button and then set the following settings on the Simulation. Starch: 3 Amylase: 2 Temp: 35 Maltose: 0 Maltase: 0 pH: 7 Glucose: 0 Amylase Inhibitor: 0 Question 5 Which of the following did you observe?(1 point) Responses Amylase did not have a reaction with starch. Amylase did not have a reaction with starch. Amylase reacted with starch to create glucose molecules Amylase reacted with starch to create glucose molecules Amylase reacted with starch to create maltose molecules

Answer 1

Based on the settings you provided in the simulation, with amylase at a level of 2 and starch at a level of 3, it would be expected that amylase would react with starch. Amylase is an enzyme responsible for breaking down starch into simpler sugars.

Since maltose is at 0, it can be inferred that the reaction would proceed to convert starch into maltose, as amylase first breaks down starch into maltose before further hydrolysis into glucose. Therefore, the most appropriate observation would be:

Amylase reacted with starch to create maltose molecules.

If the simulation showed no maltose production, then it might suggest either the activity of amylase was insufficient or there was another limiting factor in the reaction. Under normal conditions, the primary product would likely be maltose.

Answer 2

u can select multiple

Answer 3

Thank you for the clarification! Given that you can select multiple options, let's evaluate each one based on the settings provided:

1. Amylase did not have a reaction with starch.

   • This is unlikely if amylase is present and active.

2. Amylase reacted with starch to create glucose molecules.

   • While amylase breaks starch down into glucose, the initial step typically produces maltose first. Depending on the simulation's progression, this could happen later, but it's not the primary observation right away.

3. Amylase reacted with starch to create maltose molecules.

   • This is a likely observation, as amylase initially breaks down starch into maltose.

Based on these points, the correct selections would be:

• Amylase reacted with starch to create maltose molecules.
• If glucose was produced after further hydrolysis, you could select Amylase reacted with starch to create glucose molecules, but only if the simulation shows that glucose was produced.

So, in summary, select Amylase reacted with starch to create maltose molecules, and if appropriate in the context of the simulation, also consider Amylase reacted with starch to create glucose molecules based on the extent of reaction observed. The first option is generally not correct based on the presence of amylase and starch.

Answer 4

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 u can select multiple

Answer 5

Based on the context of your previous simulations and understanding enzymes, here are the logical conclusions you can reach:

1. Any enzyme will break down any molecule.

   • This statement is incorrect. Enzymes are specific in their action and typically only catalyze specific reactions for particular substrates.

2. Some enzymes can break down more than one substrate.

   • This statement is correct. Some enzymes can act on different substrates, particularly if they have similar structures or properties.

3. Enzymes are specific to a substrate.

   • This statement is also correct. Most enzymes are very specific to their substrates due to the unique shapes of their active sites.

Based on these evaluations, you should select:

• Some enzymes can break down more than one substrate.
• Enzymes are specific to a substrate.

You would not select the first option, as it does not accurately reflect the nature of enzymes.

Answer 6

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. u can select multiple

Answer 7

Based on the properties of amylase and the scenario provided, here's the expected behavior when amylase interacts with starch:

1. Nothing, starch remained the same.

   • This would be unlikely if amylase is present and active, as amylase typically catalyzes the breakdown of starch.

2. Starch was broken down to glucose.

   • While amylase eventually leads to the production of glucose, the enzyme first breaks starch down into maltose before further hydrolysis into glucose.

3. Starch was broken down to maltose.

   • This is a likely observation, as amylase mainly catalyzes the conversion of starch into maltose initially.

4. Starch was broken down to glucose then, maltose.

   • This sequence is incorrect in standard enzyme activity; typically, starch is broken down to maltose first and then to glucose.

Given these options, you should select:

• Starch was broken down to maltose.

If you observed no reaction at all during your simulations, you could also consider selecting Nothing, starch remained the same, but this typically wouldn’t be the case if amylase was active.

In summary, it would be most accurate to select:

• Starch was broken down to maltose.

You would not select the other options for a standard enzymatic reaction involving amylase and starch.
