Investigation in to the effect of enzyme concentration on digestion of starch by amylase Aim To investigate the effect of enzyme concentration on digestion of starch by amylase Hypothesis The greater the concentration of amylase the bigger the circle produced due to greater digestion of starch. Apparatus 2 petri dishes containing starch agar jelly Bunsen burner Mountain needles Cork borers Micropipette 7 test tubes Test tube rack 0.5% amylase solution Distilled water Iodine solution Felt tip pen Ruler Safety Due to the use of the Bunsen burner I shall wear safety glasses and when not using it I shall put it on to the safety flame. Also whilst carrying out the experiment I shall be careful when using the mountain needles as they are very sharp. Method * Firstly on the back of the two petri dishes I shall divide each petri dish in to 4 parts and label each one with a concentration percentage. * Then I shall light the Bunsen burner a pass a cork borer...
