The effects of copper ions on the reaction between amylase and starch Introduction I am going to investigate the effects of copper ions on the reaction between starch and amylase. This is to determine what effects detrimental or otherwise copper compounds could have on the starch and amylase reaction. My independent variable will be concentration of copper sulphate and my dependant variable will be rate of reaction. Hypothesis I believe the copper sulphate will act as an inhibitor and will decrease the rate of reaction. Because the copper sulphate will provide Cu ions which will prevent the enzymes from breaking down the starch. Risk Assessment I believe this experiment will be safe to perform in the laboratory providing the following precautions are taken. * Safety glasses should be worn at all times and be put on before handling anything to make sure my eyes are protected. * A lab coat will be worn to protect...
