AIM The aim of this investigation is to investigate the affect of amylase concentration on starch breakdown into glucose. To do this a couple of variable should be brought into consideration. They are the amount of amylase and the time taken for the starch to break down into glucose. PREDICTION I predict that if I increase the concentration of amylase in the starch then the amount of time taken for the starch to break down into glucose will decrease, hence making it's rate of reaction higher. This is because there will be more active sites for reactions, resulting in more chemical reactions caused by successful collisions between the active site of the amylase and the starch. The higher the concentration of amylase in the starch then the amount of time taken for the starch to break down into glucose will decrease. This is because there is more amylase in a higher concentration gradient to...
