Post-lab Quiz Results
You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly.
1 The substrate(s) for amylase is/are
You correctly answered: starch.
2 The results of tube 5 (peptidase, starch, pH 7.0 buffer) demonstrated that
You correctly answered: peptidase does not digest starch.
3 Why was the cellulose in tube 6 (bacteria, cellulose, pH 7.0 buffer) hydrolyzed to glucose?
You correctly answered: The bacterial suspension contained the enzyme cellulase, which
digested the cellulose.
4 Which tube allows you to conclude that the buffer was not contaminated with amylase?
