Question

the graph below shows how the rate of enzyme action changes throughout a reaction. what is the optimum temperature for the enzyme to function properly? a 35°c b 60°c c 0°c d 55°c

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the concept of enzyme's optimal temperature

The optimal temperature for an enzyme is the temperature at which the enzyme has the highest rate of action. On the graph, this is the peak point of the curve.

Step2: Analyze the given options

Looking at the graph, we can see that the peak of the curve (highest relative rate of enzyme action) occurs at approximately 35°C.

Answer:

A. 35°C
