In fact this work should add to your knowledge about the process of digestion which occurs in your body. Experiment Independent Dependent Key Variables And Control Ms Cooper Biology Notes Experiments Scientific Method When amylase reacts with starch it cuts off the disaccharide maltose two glucose molecules linked together. . The action of an enzyme in speeding the biochemical conversion of a substance into something else can be simply described as follows. This is an experiment you need to understand for the final examination. Today we see what happens when we spit on starchWebsite. At this temperature the enzyme amylase has started denaturing and becoming inactive due to the high temperatures hence reducing its activity on the substrate starch hence reducing the rate of dig...
