Biology · Secondary 4 · Hard · Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
A scientist studies an enzyme that works in the human small intestine. At 37 °C and optimum pH, the enzyme produces 9 cm³ of product in 3 minutes. If the temperature is kept at 37 °C but the pH is changed so that the rate falls to 75% of the original rate, how much product will be formed in 4 minutes at this new pH?
- 4.5 cm³
- 6 cm³
- 9 cm³
- 12 cm³
