Amylase investigation AIM: To investigate the effect of temperature change on the rate of hydrolysis of starch using the enzyme amylase. These are variables that may affect the rate of the reaction: * concentration of amylase * concentration of iodine * temperature conditions of reaction * pH conditions of reaction I intend to investigate the effect of temperature change on the rate of the hydrolysis of starch, using the enzyme amylase. In order to do this while also ensuring a fair test, I shall maintain all other latent variables constant. PREDICTIONS: I expect that the time taken to evolve a set volume of gas will decrease as the concentration increases. This, in other words, means that to increase the concentration, will increase the rate of the reaction. I would expect that if the concentration is doubled, so too is the rate of the reaction: Rate of reaction ? concentration JUSTIFICATION: Enzyme molecules have a very specific method of...
