Question

Amylase is the enzyme that controls the breakdown of starch to glucose.

Describe how the student could investigate the effect of pH on the breakdown of
starch by amylas

Answer 1

You will investigate the breakdown of starch by amylase at different pHs. The different pHs under investigation will be produced using buffer solutions . Buffer solutions produce a particular pH, and will maintain it if other substances are added. The amylase will break down the starch
