Question

Concentration Effects on Enzyme Reaction Rates Examine the results shown for the digestion of starch at four different concentrations of amylase. (In this example, we assume the amount of starch available for the enzyme to work on is unlimited.) The digestion of starch was followed by staining a small sample with IKI every minute for a total of 14 minutes. The concentrations of amylase used are given below, but the order of the tubes shown in the table do not correspond to the order in the columns shown in the diagram. You need to examine the data and indicate which column in the diagram corresponds to each row on the table. Starch Solution Distilled Water Enzyme Solution (ml) L) Which column in the diagram does this concentration correspond to 000 000 000 ... ... 000 000 000 0000.00 500.00

Answer 1

Before starting the answer, let me explain a bit about enzyme Activity. You've taken 4 samples of amylase at different concentration.

Talking in terms of the enzyme molecules which are available to the starch, solution 4 will provide the highest number of amylase to the solution, which means more starch will be digested in shortest time.

So the colour change will be rapid and the color change time will decrease with decrease in concentration. So they have a direct relationship in which time taken for the solution to change its color is directly proportional to the concentration of the enzyme. Higher the concentration, less is the time taken.

So the answer, I'll give you in response to the image.

On the strip, the order is 3 1 4 2 ​​​​​​
