Question

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION!!!!!!

During a class experiment, Wendy investigates the rates of catalyzed reactions at different temperatures. Which statement is a valid hypothesis for her experiment?

a. Enzymes act upon too many different molecules to run this test; the data would not be accurate.

b. Enzymes have an optimal temperature at which they catalyze a reaction.

c. Enzymes catalyze all reactions at the same rate, no matter the environmental conditions.

d. Enzymes catalyze reactions at the same rate no matter what the temperature of the solution in which they are tested.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (b).

Explanation:

Enzymes may be defined as the bio catalyst that can increase the speed  of a bio chemical reaction of the body. Enzymes decreases the activation energy of the reaction and maintains the reaction equilibrium.

Wendy has investigated the rate of the catalysis of reaction at different temperatures. Enzymes are very specific in nature and works at optimum temperature conditions only. The enzyme catalyze the reaction at highest speed if the temperature is optimum for the enzymes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
