endpoints (values of the dependent variable, or data) should be plotted on the vertical
or Y axis.
Questions
1. What is the pH optimum for this exercise? (At what pH is the rate
maximum?)
2. Based on your data, predict what the endpoint would be at a pH of 10.
3. What is the effect on the endpoint of raising or lowering the pH above or
below the pH with the lowest endpoint?
4.
During the exercise, what variables are held constant? What variables are
manipulated? What variables are measured?
Held constant?
Manipulated?
Measured?

a. Procedure
1. Choose a concentration of amylase that had an endpoint time of 60 to 90 seconds
in Part A. This will probably be either 1.0 or 2.0 mg/ml. Only one amylase
concentration will be used for this exercise. Pipette exactly 1 ml of this
amylase concentration into each of 7 different test tubes.
2. Obtain 7 clean test tubes and add 2 ml of starch solution to each. Then add to 2 ml
of one different pH buffer to each. You now have 7 identical test tubes with
amylase and 7 different test tubes with starch and different buffers.
3. Place the two sets of tubes next to each other into a rack and immerse the entire rack
in the 37°C water bath at your table. Allow about 10 minutes for the solutions in the
tubes to reach the temperature of the bath.
4. Follow the timing procedure in part A and determine the endpoint times for each
pair. To conserve time, if endpoint has not been reached in 500 seconds, STOP, and
record the end time as 500+ seconds. **Remember to keep tubes in the heated bath water
and return the contents of the dropper after each drop, so that the temperature will not
change during the experiment.
5. Record all data and answer questions below.
