8 The diagram shows the apparatus used to investigate the digestion of milk fat by an enzyme. The reaction mixture contained milk and the enzyme.
In Experiment 1, bile was also added.
In Experiment 2, an equal volume of water replaced the bile.
In each experiment, the pH was recorded at 2 minute intervals.
