Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
Biology · Secondary 3 · Medium · Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
In an experiment, amylase digests starch fastest at 37 °C. What will most likely happen to the rate of reaction if the temperature is increased to 60 °C?
- It decreases sharply because the enzyme becomes denatured.
- It increases steadily because particles move faster.
- It stays the same because temperature no longer affects enzymes.
- It increases slightly then remains constant.
