Introduction: The experiment we are testing is to see how the surroundings of the amylase and starch affect the rate of reaction and how starch changes amylase into simple sugars. Enzymes act as biological catalysts and are specific in the reactions they catalyse. Usually an enzyme will just catalyse only one type of reaction. It only fits into one specific pattern and each enzyme has its own substrate. Biological catalysts are produced in cells and capable of speeding up the chemical reactions. These are simple proteins of a large size and are specific in each chemical reaction needing its own individual enzyme. Enzymes are speeded up by different factors like temperature and pH. Catalyst's increase the rate of a chemical reaction but is never used up during the reaction. In this experiment we will look for starch and see if sugars are present at different temperatures. Prediction: I predict that the enzyme will...
