Question

Which of the following actions would increase enzymatic activity in a bacterial cell that normally thrives in the human body?

a. adding a second substrate that can act as a competitive inhibitor
b. slightly increasing the temperature within the optimum range
c. placing the bacteria in the refrigerator
d. increasing the substrate level in the environment beyond saturation

Answer 1

Answer:

correct answer is B

by slightly increasing the temperature within the optimum range

Explanation:

In summary, as temperature increases, initially the rate of reaction will increase, because of increased Kinetic Energy.he temperature at which the maximum rate of reaction occurs is called the enzyme’s Optimum Temperature. This is different for different enzymes.
