Amylase - Planning Aim: To find the effect of temperature on amylase hydrolysing starch molecules which form disaccharide maltose. I will find the effect on their rate of reaction via varying temperature, using a potato as a catalyst. The source of catalase is in the potato cells. Prediction: I predict that as the temperature increases, the speed of the reaction will increase. When a particular temperature is reached I believe the rate of reaction will dramatically decrease. I believe this because most chemical reactions happen faster when the temperature is higher. At higher temperatures molecules have greater K.E, which makes it easier for them to react together. Usually, a rise of 10O degrees wills double the rate of reaction. This is true for enzymes up to about 40 degrees. However at 40 degrees the enzyme begins to be damaged, so the reaction slows down. By 60 degrees the enzyme is completely...
