Product when amylase breaks down starch

Simple sugars

Formula for rate of reaction

1time\frac{1}{\text{time}}

Optimum pH for an enzyme

pH where rate is highest/enzyme works best

Buffer solutions

Mixtures that resist pH changes/keep pH steady

Why control temperature in this practical

Ensures rate changes only due to pH changes

Endpoint indicator in this practical

When iodine no longer changes colour

Amylase activity at extreme pH values

Low rate/works slowly

Testing interval in this practical

Every 30 seconds
