(b) A student investigated the effect of temperature on the activity of amylase.
She mixed together 10 cm3 of a starch suspension and an equal volume of
amylase solution which had both been kept at 20 °C. She kept the mixture at
20 °C.
The student immediately took a small sample of the mixture and added it to
a drop of iodine solution. She did this every 30 seconds for five minutes and
recorded the colour of the iodine solution.
The student repeated the experiment at 30 oC, 40 oC, 50 oC, and 60 oC. The results
at the different temperatures are shown in Table 1.
