Identify the effect of the following on the activity of maltase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes maltose.
-adjusting the temperature to the optimum temperature

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adjusting the temperature to the optimum temperature increases the activity of maltase as enzymes have an optimum temperature at which they catalyze reactions most efficiently. For maltase, its optimum temperature is around 37°C or body temperature. So, increasing the temperature from below the optimum will increase the activity of maltase.
