Investigation on factors affecting the enzyme Amylase Aim: An investigation into the factors affecting the activity of the enzyme Amylase - Planning Prediction: I predict that as the temperature increases, the speed of the reaction will increase. When a particular temperature is reached, I believe the rate of reaction will dramatically decrease. I believe this because most chemical reaction happens faster when the temperature is higher. At higher temperatures molecules mover around faster, which makes …

…to find the optimum temperature and then conduct the experiment at this temperature to ensure it was the optimum temperature. I also conducted all three experiments for each condition at the same time to save time. Additional work, which could be carried out, is to repeat the experiment using, a wider range of temperatures and pH levels, and a range of different starch solution concentrations or using different enzymes such as protease with a protein.
