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:

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