GCSE coursework science-analysing strand Jack Darby 10F1 Miss Riaz Control in animals and plants How quickly does amylase break down starch when we change the temperature. Conclusion My results show that as the temperature of the amylase and starch solution increases the rate of reaction of increases up to 40 degrees then as the temperature rises above that the rate of reaction decreases. This is what I stated in my prediction. The curve on the graph did rise and then fall as the reactant denatured, this is also what I stated in my prediction. Explain what you found using scientific ideas The higher the temperature of the starch and amylase solution up to and including 40 degrees Celsius because 40 degrees is near to body temperature and is the optimum temperature for amylase to work. As the solution of starch and amylase become hotter than 40 degrees Celsius the rate of reaction slows down because the reactant...
