How temperature effects the hydrolysis of starch with amylase as it's enzyme. Biology AS course work on Enzymes: Aim: To investigate the effect of temperature change on the rate of hydrolysis of starch catalysed by amylase. Hypothesis: Temperature change (positive) will almost certainly have the effect of catalysing the starch which is being catalysed by the amylase solution, meaning it will speed up the entire reaction which is already being catalysed. Enzyme activity will be profusely affected whatever the temperature change is. Science Reasoning For Hypothesis: Proteins have biological catalysts (a substance which speeds up the reaction without becoming part of the product). They are called enzymes which when binding to the reactants of the reaction they're catalysing, cause the amount of activation energy to decrease, causing the reaction's speed to increase. A large activation energy amounts to a slower reaction because the substrate needs to surpass the initial activation energy, so a lower...
