PhysioEx Exercise 8 Activity 3
PhysioEx Lab Report Exercise 8: Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion Activity 3: Assessing Pepsin Digestion of Protein Name: Kaelyn Wozniak Date: 9 November 2020 Session ID: session-24a6db31-289b-ff93-3abe-5be6063a3302
Pre-lab Quiz Results You scored 100% by answering 5 out of 5 questions correctly. 1 Where in the body does protein digestion begin? You correctly answered: the stomach. 2 The substrate for pepsin is You correctly answered: protein and peptides. 3 In this activity the substrate you will be using to detect protein digestion is You correctly answered: BAPNA. 4 Negative results with the negative controls You correctly answered: are expected and validate the experiment. 5 A spectrophometer measures You correctly answered: optical density.
Experiment Results Predict Question 1 Predict Question: At which pH do you think pepsin will have the highest activity? Your answer: pH 2.0. Stop & Think Questions 1 Which of the following tubes are negative control tubes? You correctly answered: tubes 3 (pepsin, deionized water, pH 2.0 buffer) and 4 (deionized water, BAPNA, pH 2.0 buffer). 2 An optical density greater than zero indicates that https://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/bc 0media ap/physioex/10/ex8/act3/

Post-lab Quiz Results You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly. 1 Pepsin would be most active You correctly answered: in the stomach. 2 Which two tubes validated the results of the experiment? You correctly answered: tubes 3 (pepsin, deionized water, pH 2.0 buffer) and 4 (deionized water, BAPNA, pH 2.0 buffer). 3 With more enzyme activity the optical density You correctly answered: increased. 4 If pepsin were digesting an actual protein substrate, the product would be You correctly answered: peptides and amino acids.
Review Sheet Results 1 Describe the effect that boiling had on pepsin and how you could tell that it had that effect. Your answer: Boiling inactivated the pepsin. There was no activity observed in test tube 1 but was very active in test tube 2. https://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/bc 0media ap/physioex/10/ex8/act3/

2 Was your prediction correct about the optimal pH for pepsin activity? Discuss the physiological correlation behind your results. Your answer: My prediction was correct pepsin was the most active at 2.0 pH. 3 What do you think would happen if you reduce the incubation time to 30 minutes for tube 5 (pepsin, BAPNA, pH 7.0 buffer)? Your answer: If the incubation time was reduced for test tube 5 I think there would be no digestion of protein.
