You collect data on the effect of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase in human cells. Which of the following graphs would you expect?

Question

The graph shows a bell-shaped curve, indicating that there is an optimal pH at which the enzyme activity is highest. At extreme pH values, the enzyme will denature and lose its activity, resulting in a decrease in enzyme function. This is consistent with the behavior of catalase, which has an optimal pH around 7-8 and begins to denature at higher or lower pH values.
