Abstract Enzymes have one active site that empowers the substrate to tie to the enzyme which then structures the enzyme substrate and finally, after, discharges the items. The primary function of enzymes is to control the chemical responses that happen in cells. Fungal and Bacterial amylase are the proteins that were concentrated on for their capacity to separate starch. With a specific end goal to decide how temperature influences the action of amylase enzymes and ideal temperature of fungal and bacterial amylase, the action of these compounds were tried at distinctive temperature and times and iodine was utilized as a marker of starch. During this experiment, we gathered eight test tubes, for bacterial, in which two had amylase and the other …show more content…

The results that we gathered should have gotten lighter due to the enzyme starting the reaction to break down the starch. Introduction Enzymes are biological catalysts that produce a constant supply of energy and help regulate the chemical reactions that occur in cells. Our daily lives depend on these types of proteins because without enzymes it can cause us severe illness or death and we would not be able to convert food into energy nor would our bodies be able to replace old tissues. Protease and amylases are a type of enzyme that is produced by the body that helps break down starch and protein. With these enzymes, we are able to produce breaded products and we are able to brew alcohol, cheese, and detergents (Alberte, Pitzer, Calero, 2014). In respiration, enzymes contain an important role where aerobic respiration exhales the energy that is in glucose. In order for aerobic respiration to work it needs oxygen, and in this process, the energy that is released is utilized in the making of smaller molecules and the maintenance of a constant body temperature (BBC News, 2015). Enzymes are likewise proteins that are collapsed into complex shapes that
