Does the Volume of Amylase Affect the Rate of Reaction between Amylase and Starch? Plan Aim: The aim of this investigation is to find out whether the volume of amylase affects the rate of reaction between amylase and starch. Prediction: I predict that the greater the volume of amylase then the faster the rate of reaction between the starch and amylase will be. I predict this because of the lock and key hypothesis. The lock and key hypothesis explains how the substrate molecule (the starch) fits inside the enzyme. The substrate molecule is then broken up into many smaller pieces. In this experiment the larger the volume of amylase (enzyme/active site) there is then the quicker the starch (substrate) will be broken down, resulting in a fast reaction rate. Therefore, a smaller amount of amylase will result in a slower reaction rate. Preliminary Work: The preliminary work was carried out to find a suitable range to collect...
