Ques 1 part cii. Would'nt it be accuracy ? Sorry but Im confused which I should'nt be.

Btw, the number of bubbles cannot be accurate. They will be different everytime. Like see the measurement of a chair will always be the same so that is accurate. But the number of bubbles wont be the same everytime so you do the test more than once for reliability because you cant get the accurate answer. Like I hope you understand what Im trying to say

LOL. Yep I get you! (a bit though) but thanks. I'll probably use the other way! Using easier words would fetch me more marks.

at what pH amylase works best acidic or alkaline?

Depends on which amylase you look at.
The amylase in mouth works at a pH of 7 as saliva is neutral.
The pancreatic amylase is alkalin-ic as it works in the alkaline pancreatic juice.

actually i was going through an investigation in which they have provided
acidic, slightly acidic, neutral, slightly alkaline and alkaline pH to test which works best, they did not mention if the amylase is salivary or pancreatic, so i am confused which results would be positive
