The video tutorial covers the role of amylase as a biological catalyst in breaking down starch into glucose. It discusses factors affecting amylase activity, including concentration, temperature, and pH. The experiment involves using buffer solutions to test amylase activity at different pH levels, measuring the time taken for starch digestion. Key variables are identified, and control measures are explained to ensure a fair test.
