Effect of temperature on digestion due to Amylase Aim: Test the effect of temperature on the digestion of starch into maltose by amylase. Hypothesis: there will be the highest amount of maltose between 30°C and 40°C. Thus, the amylase will digest the most starch between 30°C and 40°C. Materials: - 1) Starch solution - 2) Amylase - 3) Test tubes (A, B, C) - 4) Bunsen burner - 5) Tripod stand - 6) Iodine - 7) Gauze - 8) Plastic dropper - 9) Beaker - 10) Water - 11) Petri dish (A, B, C) Procedure: 1. fill a beaker until it is about half-way filled with water 2. then suspend it over the Bunsen burner, using the tripod stand and the gauze 3. boil the water until it is about 35°C 4. fill test tube A with 2 ml amylase and place it in the beaker for 3 minutes 5. add to the test tube 5 ml of starch and leave the solution in the beaker for another...
