Biology Coursework - GCSE Assessment Planning In this piece of coursework, I will be investigating the rate of reactions of Amylase with Starch. I will be trying to find patterns to the results I find, and trying to say why they occur. From other research I have found out that Amylase is a naturally occurring Enzyme, of the Carbohydrase type, which is found in Saliva and the Pancreas. Enzymes are Biological Catalysts, which increase the rate of chemical reactions occurring naturally in our bodies. Amylase converts Starches in the food we eat, into Glucose and other simple Sugars like Maltose. It is one of the first parts of the digestive process. Diagram of the Reaction between Amylase and Starch The diagrams show how Amylase breaks down a Starch molecule into Sugar and other by-products, without being affected itself. The Amylase is then free to attach itself to another Starch molecule and repeat the process until...
