How does temperature affect the activity of enzyme amylase on starch?
How does temperature affect the activity of enzyme amylase on starch? At the optimum temperature the amylase will break down starch very quickly. At low temperatures the amylase will break starch down slowly due to reduced kinetic energy. At high temperatures the amylase will break starch down slowly or not at all due to denaturation of the enzyme's active site . What conclusion can be made about the action of salivary amylase? Our conclusion from the experiment is that our saliva contains something (an enzyme called amylase) that turns starch (that our body cannot use) into glucose (that our body...
