A biology student is investigating how temperature affects the rate at which the enzyme amylase breaks down starch. She prepares five test tubes, each containing the same amount of starch solution and the same concentration of amylase enzyme. She places each test tube in a water bath set to a different temperature: 10°C, 20°C, 30°C, 40°C, and 50°C. After 5 minutes, she measures how much starch remains in each tube using a colorimetric test. She records her data in a table.
