Question

10 g of a plant material is extracted in 100mL of a suitable buffer. On performing an assay for amylase activity, 100µl extract produced 6 µmoles glucose in 30 minutes of incubation. One unit of amylase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to produce 1µmole of glucose per minute. The amylase activity (units/g) of the material is

Answer 1

Answer:

20

Explanation:

so you can see that the amylase activity has been defined as the amount of enzyme required to produce 1 microliters of glucose per minute.

therefore, 6 microliters of glucose produced/ 30 minutes of incubation * 100 microliters of the sample you the answer.

the answer is 20 units.
