.  A student investigated the effects of the enzyme amylase on starch digestion. The student followed this procedure: • Soak a different paper disk in one of six solutions. • Place the disks on an agar plate containing starch. • Store the agar plate at 37°C for one hour. • Flood the agar plate with iodine and then drain. • Observe the results.
A white area around a disk indicates starch digestion. The student’s results are shown in this diagram.
