Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
Biology · Secondary 4 · Medium · Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
An enzyme breaks down starch into maltose. Which change will most likely increase the rate of this reaction at the start of the experiment?
- Raising the temperature from 25°C to 37°C while keeping pH constant.
- Raising the temperature from 37°C to 80°C while keeping pH constant.
- Lowering the pH from 7 to 3 for an enzyme that works best at pH 7.
- Diluting the enzyme solution to half its original concentration.
