glucose and starch
2. Describe tests for glucose and
starch
3. Carry out practical to test for
glucose and starch
Testing for starch

samples

• A negative test = stays yellow

Testing for Glucose

green/yellow/orange/brick red
• A negative test = stays blue
Safety
• Wear aprons and goggles throughout
• Care of glassware
• Care of hot water
• Don’t eat the food…
• Be aware of any allergies

Recording your results

starch and/or glucose results?
Starter – True or False
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are found in Lipids and Carbohydrates
Glycosidic bonds are found in Lipids
Ester bonds are found in Proteins
Protein is a polymer
Fat is an immediate energy source
An Amino Acid is a polymer
Meat, Fish and Eggs contain carbohydrates

Enzymes
6/15/19
Lesson Objectives:
1. Define the term catalyst and enzyme.
2. Describe the role of enzymes in
catalysing reactions in living cells
3. State two factors that affect the
rate of an enzyme controlled reaction.
4. Describe the effect of two factors on
the rate of an enzyme controlled
reactions.
Discuss:
i. Meaning of the word catalyst.
ii. Link between enzymes and catalysts
iii. Function of enzymes
iv. 55 000 different enzymes in the

body….think up as many metabolic
reactions as possible.
Enzymes
Add as many ideas as you can about enzymes:
Examples What are they?
What do they
do?
What type of Enzymes

molecule are
they? Where are they
What processes are found?
they involved in?
Definition:
A catalyst is a chemical that speeds up
the rate of a chemical reaction without
being used up. Enzymes are biological
catalysts. Enzymes speed up the rate of
chemical reactions inside the body /
metabolic reactions.

Catalase Plenary
•
Hydrogen peroxide is an unstable colourless
liquid H2O2. It ‘decomposes’ to form water and
oxygen:
This reaction can be sped up with a catalyst or

an enzyme – e.g. catalase, which is found in living
tissue

The Effect of temperature on enzyme
action
LOs
• Carry out practical work to reveal the

effect of temperature on enzyme action
• Be able to describe the experiment

Enzymes build/break molecules and speed
up reactions in living things
Amylase is found in saliva

• Amylase breaks
long starch
molecules down
into small glucose
molecules.
• Only the small
molecules can be
absorbed in
digestion
The rate of an enzyme controlled reaction is
affected by temperature
At low temperatures enzyme controlled reactions go

slowly because the molecules have low kinetic energy.
• When temperature increases the reaction also

increases as the molecules have more kinetic energy
But this only occurs up to

the optimum temperature
(usually about 40oC)
The temperature at
which the rate of
reaction is fastest is
known as the optimum
temperature
Rate of reaction of an enzyme reaction changes
at different temperatures

After the optimum temperature the heat causes the

enzyme to denature

matches the shape of the substrate molecule

• Label and put one of each
into each water bath (20°C,
30°C, 40°C, 50°C)
• Two spotting tiles next to
each other with two drops
of iodine in each.
Method
• Add the amylase to the starch – shake
to mix – start stopclock
• Immediately take a pipette of the 20 30 40 50
starch/ amylase from a water bath 1

Prep
• Draw a graph to represent your results

• Use 1/Time as your dependent variable
(y-axis)
• Temperature as your independent
variable (x-axis)
The activity and shape of enzymes is also
affected by pH
• Enzymes prefer to work at an optimum pH. Outside of its
pH range the enzyme is denatured.
