(a)
Interpretation:
The effect on the rate of a pancreatic amylase-catalyzed reaction due to lowering of pH from 7 to 4 needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Amylase is an enzyme which acts as catalyst for the hydrolysis reaction of starch into sugars. It is present in the saliva of the humans where the chemical process of digestion starts.
(b)
Interpretation:
The effect on the rate of a pancreatic amylase-catalyzed reaction due to increasing the pH from 7 to 9 needs to be explained.
