Aim: 'Investigating how temperature affects the rate action of the amylase enzyme on starch.' Background Reading Before conduction of both preliminary and the official investigations, I did research on enzymes, their structures and properties both during school and at home dependently using the internet, varies software and books (http://www.bbc.co.uk/revision / Encarta encyclopaedia / School Biology book). This Investigation should hopefully reinforce my understanding of enzymes and particularly the Amylase Enzyme. I have decided to express the knowledge not in this section but throughout this essay in major areas such as the prediction. Hypothesis: I hypothesise; using my scientific knowledge of enzymes from the essential background reading that increasing the temperature will increase the rate of reaction between the enzyme and the substrate accordingly. However, I am aware that the temperature can only be increased or decreased to a certain point before the reaction corrupts as the enzyme will cease to function. I believe that...
