An Experiment to show how Amylase Enzymes breaks down Starch into simple sugars. Scientific Theory Enzymes are chemicals in our body, which help, either break down, or build up molecules. There are two main types of enzymes, breakers and builders: - Sometimes we need to break down large molecules into smaller ones. Breaker enzymes help speed up these reactions. This is important in digestion when large insoluble molecules are broken down into small soluble molecules, which can be absorbed into the bloodstream. In other reactions small molecules are joined together to make larger ones. Builder enzymes speed up these reactions. These enzymes build large important molecules. We are going to study the enzyme amylase and starch, to study the effect of the amylase on the starch. Method Firstly, we did a spot test for starch and glucose; we put 1ml of starch onto a spotting tray and added 1ml of Iodine and noted the changes. After that...
