Question

Hit the reset button and then set the following settings on the Simulation
Starch: 3
Amylase: 2
Temp: 35
Maltose: 0
Maltase: 0
pH: 7
Glucose: 0
Amylase Inhibitor: 0 
Which of the following did you observe?
*
1 point
Amylase did not have a reaction with starch
Amylase reacted with starch to create glucose molecules
Amylase reacted with starch to create maltose molecules

Answer 1

Based on the settings provided for the simulation, with starch being present (3), a moderate amount of amylase (2), an optimal temperature of 35°C, neutral pH (7), and no maltose or glucose initially present, the most likely observation would be:

**Amylase reacted with starch to create maltose molecules.**

Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of starch into smaller carbohydrate molecules, primarily maltose. Since the conditions (temperature, pH) are favorable and there is enough amylase present, a reaction would occur resulting in the production of maltose.
