An investigation to find out about the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction between starch and amylase. Variables To investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction between starch and amylase, a simple yet effective experiment will be conducted. When conducting the experiment, all factors, excluding the chosen variable, will be kept the same so as to minimize the possibility of an unfair test. A key factor that must be kept the same is that of sterilisation. All equipment will be sterilised between each of the experiments, so as to avoid contamination. This could lead to unfair results because the amylase could start breaking down the starch before the experiment had begun. PH is another important factor, as is human error, which will be minimized by making the procedures swift. This is so that the temperature of the starch and amylase do not change according to the temperature of...
