Dear student,Buffer solutions produce a particular pH, and will
maintain it if other substances are added The amylase will break
down the starch A series of test tubes containing a mixture of
starch and amylase is set up at different pHs A sample is removed
from the test tubes every 10 seconds to test for the presence of
starch Regards
