Amylase and pH Experiment: Observing and Collecting Results

The video tutorial demonstrates an experiment to observe the effect of pH on amylase activity. Catherine conducts the experiment using various buffer solutions, starch, and amylase, while maintaining a constant temperature. The process involves setting up a water bath, preparing spotting tiles, and testing for starch presence at different time intervals. Results are recorded for buffer solutions with pH values of 5, 6, 7, and 8, showing how pH affects the rate of starch digestion.

Discuss the importance of using separate pipettes for each solution.

What conclusion can be drawn from the results of the experiment regarding starch digestion?

What changes occur in the results when using different pH buffer solutions?

What is the final step in the experiment after testing with different pH values?
