Salivary amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch. The optimum or best pH for this reaction is 6.7. Which of the following would not have an effect on a reaction involving this enzyme? . Amount of substrate

. Enzyme concentration

. Maintaining the pH of the reaction at 6.7.

. Decreased temperature of reaction temperature by 10 degrees C.

A splitting enzyme generated by the salivary glands is called salivary amylase. It assimilates the starch element of the food into small molecules of maltose.

The correct answer is:

Option C.  Maintaining the pH of the reaction at 6.7

The explanation for the answer is:

The degree of enzyme activity and its purpose depends on the concentration of the substrate present.Enzyme concentration influences the reaction as increased enzyme amount will result in the reaction to speed up.The enzyme action depends on the temperature as the drop in the temperature will reduce the rate of reaction.

Therefore, maintaining the pH of the reaction at 6.7 will not affect the reaction.
