Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
Biology · Secondary 4 · Hard · Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
A scientist measures how long it takes for a batch of green bananas to fully ripen at different ethylene concentrations.
At 0% ethylene, they ripen in 24 days. At 12% ethylene, the ripening time decreases to 12 days.
Assuming the relationship is directly proportional in this range, what is the factor increase in ripening rate when ethylene concentration increases from 0% to 12%?
