The hypothesis is that a pH level of 4 will digest the protein fastest.

You will place a protein, albumin, into four test tubes for each of the seven pH levels being used. Then, you will add the buffer solution for each pH level into their respective tubes. After a period of ten minutes, you will add Ninhydrin Isopranol to one of the tubes for each pH level. This step will be repeated every ten minutes. Then after being centrifuged, the solutions will be observed for color change and the absorbance will be recorded using a spectrophotometer at 580 nm.

You will need albumin, buffer solution, Ninhydrin Isopranol, test tubes, a centrifuge, and a spectrophotometer.

The data showed that as the pH level increased, the rate of digestion also increased rapidly. From a pH level of eight and up, the digestion was almost immediate. At lower pH levels, the rate of digestion was rather slow, which did not support the original hypothesis.

This science project is interesting because it shows how the pH level of acid in our stomachs affects the digestion of proteins, which is an important part of our digestive process.

Experiment variations to consider include testing different proteins and testing different pH levels.

Hey there! Here are some awesome videos about this science project that we think you'll really like. They're not only super fun, but they'll also help you learn more about the science behind the project. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun!!
