Answer: Substrate of Amylase enzyme is starch.

Explanation: Amylase enzyme is used to speed the chemical reaction of hydrolysing starch, a polymer of glucose, to maltose. Starch is a polysaccharide so basically the amylase enzyme breaks down this polysaccharide (many sugars) with the aid of water to disaccharide (two sugars).
