Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
Biology · Secondary 3 · Medium · Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
In an experiment, lipase is added to a mixture of fat and water at pH 7. The temperature is increased from 20 °C to 37 °C. How will the rate of reaction change, assuming lipase’s optimum temperature is 37 °C?
- Rate decreases steadily.
- Rate increases until 37 °C.
- Rate stays the same.
- Rate increases then enzymes denature at 30 °C.
