Question

Consider the following graph for the rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction.  Approximately, what would be the optimum temperature for carrying out this reaction?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The graph shows that the rate of the enzyme catalyzed reaction gradually increases with temperature until it reaches a peak at around 35°C, after which the rate starts to decrease. This peak represents the optimum temperature for the reaction where the enzyme is most active and the rate of the reaction is the highest. Therefore, choice C) 35°C would be the best choice for carrying out this reaction.
