In an experiment to study the effect of amylase on starch, samples of substrate and enzyme solutions are taken.
the volumes of substrate and enzyme solutions in each sample are the same. the temperature at which the
experiment is performed is also constant. the buffer solutions used for the experiment have ph 3. ph 5. ph 7. ph 9.
and ph 11.
what can be best predicted about the result?
the results would be consistent because amylase activity is independent of
ph
the results would be consistent at all ph values because there would be
no breakdown of starch
the results would vary because the active sites of amylase in each sample
are different
the results would vary because an increase in ph increases the formation
of the product
