Question

1. the simple sugars in questions 2 above are also called

a. reactant
b. products
c. enzyme
d. a starch

1. mention three factors that affect the rate of reaction of enzymes
2. temp
3. ph
4. substrate concentration
5. which one of the three factors will less likely to cause an enzyme to denature
6. substrate concentration
7. the effect of temperature on the relative rate of action of an enzyme s represented in the graph

the optimum temperature for the action of this enzyme is approximately
a. 15 degrees celsius
b. 22 degrees celsius
c. 37 degrees celsius
d. 50 degrees celsius

Explanation:

Enzymes have an optimal temperature at which they function best. This is the temperature where the relative rate of enzyme action is highest. Looking at the graph, the peak (highest point) of the curve representing the relative rate of enzyme action occurs around 37 degrees Celsius. Temperatures lower or higher than this optimal point result in a decrease in the enzyme's activity. For example, at very low temperatures (like 15 degrees Celsius), the enzyme molecules have less kinetic energy, so reactions occur more slowly. At extremely high temperatures (such as 50 degrees Celsius), the enzyme can denature (its structure is disrupted), which also reduces its activity.

Answer:

C. 37 degrees Celsius
