✅ – “The experiment was performed” instead of “We did the experiment.”
The results support the hypothesis: 37°C was optimal, as kinetic energy increased collisions between enzyme and substrate. At 10°C, molecules moved slowly, reducing reaction rate. At 70°C, heat denatured the enzyme’s active site, permanently destroying function. A source of error was inconsistent mixing; future experiments could use a spectrophotometer for precise measurement. biologjia 11
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into maltose. Enzymes are proteins that function best at an optimal temperature. In humans, amylase works best at 37°C. This experiment tests the hypothesis: Increasing temperature up to 40°C will increase the rate of starch breakdown, but temperatures above 60°C will denature the enzyme, reducing activity. ✅ – “The experiment was performed” instead of
