Biology · Secondary 4 · Medium · Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
A student investigates the effect of temperature on the rate of an enzyme reaction. She measures the volume of gas released in 1 minute at different temperatures. At 25°C, 10 cm³ of gas is released. At 35°C, 20 cm³ is released. Which conclusion is most appropriate?
- The enzyme works at the same rate at 25°C and 35°C.
- The enzyme works faster at 35°C than at 25°C.
- The enzyme is denatured at 35°C.
- The enzyme does not work at 25°C.
