Which statement is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Different biochemical reactions in an animal's metabolism may have different temperature sensitivities, as indicated by their Q₁₀ values. The other statements are false. A temperature-insensitive reaction has a Q₁₀ of zero or very small. Many biochemical reactions, particularly those involving enzymes, have a temperature optimum where they work the fastest. The rate of a reaction increases as temperature increases, regardless of its Q₁₀. The greater the Q₁₀, the faster the rate of reaction will increase with increasing temperature, and the smaller the Q₁₀, the slower the rate of reaction will increase with increasing temperature.
