Investigating a factor that affects the rate starch is digested by Amylase Factors that affect the rate of digestion:> Temperature affects the rate of digestion because most enzymes have a specific temperature that they work best at. This is usually body temperature for body enzymes.> pH affects the rate of digestion because most enzymes have a specific pH level at which they work best.> Concentration of substrate affects the rate of digestion because the more concentrated the substrate, the slower the rate of digestion will be for a constant amount of enzyme. This happens because there is too much substrate for the enzyme to digest quickly.> Concentration of enzyme affects the rate of digestion because the more concentrated the enzyme, the faster the rate of digestion will be for a constant amount of substrate. This happens because there are more enzymes available to digest the substrate. Aim: I am...
