Innovating Science™ Enzymes and the Process of Digestion

Description

• All the food in the world is of no use if the human body does not have the ability to extract necessary nutrients from it With this activity, students expose three nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and lipids) to different digestive enzymes These samples tested against nutrients to which no enzymes are added to determine if the enzymes were effective in digesting the compounds Upon completion, students understand the importance of the digestive system and the vital role enzymes play in releasing nutrients from food and converting them to a form usable by the body Contains enough materials for 15 groups
