Question

Respiration is a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Looking at the data below what is the optimum temperature
for the enzymes responsible for respiration?

Answer 1

Answer:

30C

Explanation:

One sign that a chemical reaction has taken place is the production of a gas. The more gas bubbles produced, the more reactions that the enzyme is catalyzing.

The highest number of gas bubbles are produced at 30C. The enzymes have the greatest activity in catalyzing chemical reactions at this temperature.

Therefore, this is the optimum temperature for the enzymes in this experiment.
