You are working with a specific enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the lab. You are a very careful experimentalist, and as a result, at the beginning of each of your experiments, you measure the temperature in the lab. On days 1 through 5, the temperature in the lab was 20oC. Today is day 6 of your experiment, and the temperature in the lab is 30oC. How do you predict that this will alter the rate of your enzyme-catalyzed reaction?
A. It will decrease the rateB. It will increase the rateC. It could possibly increase or decrease the rateD. it will not affect the rate

Answer :

quasarJose

B. It will increase the rate

Explanation:

In this experiment, the rate of the reaction will increase with increase in temperature. Since enzymes are chemical catalysts that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions, one must know that a high temperature favors the rate of chemical reaction.

  • At a high temperature, the catalyst action of the enzyme will increase rapidly.
  • Caution must be taken because at extremely high temperatures, the enzymes can become denatured.
