Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
Biology · Secondary 4 · Medium · Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
A student investigates how temperature affects the rate of an enzyme that digests starch. She measures the time taken for starch to be completely broken down at different temperatures. At which temperature is the enzyme rate the highest?
- The temperature where starch takes the longest time to be digested.
- The temperature where starch takes the shortest time to be digested.
- The lowest temperature tested, because enzymes are proteins.
- The highest temperature tested, because particles move fastest then.
