How amylase concentration affects the rate of the starch concentration In this piece of coursework, I have to carry out an investigation to find out how amylase concentration affects the rate of starch. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the chemical reaction that goes on inside living things. An enzyme acts on substrate and may do its job inside or outside the cells. However, the rate at which enzymes work are affected by the following factors/variables: Concentration: In a more concentrated solution, collision occurs more often because there are more molecules. The more often these molecules collide, the greater the chance they having of reacting. This means that the rate of a chemical reaction will increase if the concentration of reactants is increased. However, in this experiment, I'm going to do an investigation to find out how amylase concentration affects the rate of starch Hypothesis: In this investigation, the concentration of enzyme...
