Lumens of blood vessels become thinner - lowers the amount of blood flowing to the surface of the skin - less heat is loss via radiation
- different enzymes work best ad different ph s - if the ph is to low or to high the enzyme will denature
-amylase catalyses the breakdown of starch. So you time how long it takes for the starch to dissappear - to do this - regularly take a drop of the amylase and starch mixture - and put it into a drop of iodine solution on a spotting tile. Record the colour change - it will true blue-black if starch is present. Note the time when the iodine solution no longer turns blue-black - the starch has then been broken down by the amylase. You can use times to compare reaction rates under different conditions.
