B19:Important experiments and graphs patterns to remember for each topic

Question 1

Design an experiment to demonstrate the rate a which starch is broken down under different pH conditions

Answer 1

1. obtain starch solution with same concentration and volume and place it in 5 beakers
2. obtain amylase solution with same concentration and volume
3. Place the same volume different buffer solutions in the starch solution all at the same temperature.
4. Now place the same volume amylase solution in each beaker.
5. check for the presence of starch at regular inervals such as every 1 minute using iodine solution
