    What causes vomiting and diarrhea?

    Salmonella bacteria, a type of bacteria that can cause food poisoning, can result in vomiting and diarrhea.

    How does Salmonella infection cause these symptoms?

    The symptoms are caused by the body's immune response to the Salmonella bacteria. When the immune system attacks the bacteria, it can cause inflammation in the digestive tract, leading to vomiting and diarrhea.

    Rate of change

    Resting rate

    The point where something stops changing or becomes stable. For example, the point where the heart rate of person S no longer decreases after resting.

    Percentage Decrease

    The change in a value over time, expressed as a percentage compared to the original value. For example, if something decreases from 100 to 50, the percentage decrease is 50% because the change is 50 (100 - 50), and the original value was 100. It is calculated by dividing the decrease by the original value and multiplying by 100. (Decrease / Original Value) * 100.

    Why does the indicator become colorless?

    Lipase, an enzyme, breaks down fats in milk. The indicator changes color in the presence of fats. When lipase breaks down the fats, the indicator changes color, indicating a decrease in fat content.

    Signup and view all the flashcards

    How does the indicator work?

    The indicator is a chemical that changes color depending on the amount of fat present. When lipase, an enzyme, breaks down milk fat in the test tube, the indicator changes color. This color change denotes a depletion of fat in the solution. You can also say that the indicator changes color when the solution turns alkaline.

    Why does the bile solution turn colorless faster?

    Bile helps to emulsify fats. This means it breaks down large fat molecules into smaller droplets. This makes the fats more accessible to lipase, allowing the enzyme to break down the fat more efficiently. This faster breakdown of fat results in a faster color change of the indicator, which is why the indicator turned colorless faster in the solution with bile.

    Signup and view all the flashcards

    Why might the timing be inaccurate?

    The time it takes for the indicator to change color could be inaccurate due to variations in factors like the amount of lipase added, the temperature of the solution, or the concentration of the indicator itself. These factors can influence the rate of the reaction and the time it takes for the indicator to change colors.

    Signup and view all the flashcards

    Explain the difference in results for the two tubes?

    The solution with bile showed a faster color change compared to the solution without bile. This indicates that the presence of bile accelerates the breakdown of fat molecules by lipase, leading to the indicator changing color faster and indicating a faster depletion of fat in the solution.
