What has happened in test-tube A? ???
54
What has happened in test-tube A? Amylase has broken down starch into maltose.
55
What has happened in test-tube A? Amylase has broken down starch into maltose. What has happened in test- tube B? ???
56
What has happened in test-tube A? Amylase has broken down starch into maltose. What has happened in test- tube B? As there was no enzyme present, starch has not been broken down.
