Question

The optimum temperature for respiration is

• A. 20 -30${}^o$C
• B. 25 -60${}^o$C
• C. 40 -50${}^o$C
• D. 10 -30${}^o$C

Answer 1

The correct option is A 20 -30${}^o$C

Respiration is the breakdown of the carbon-carbon bond to release energy.

This process is done with the help of a variety of different enzyme and as we know that the enzyme works efficiently in a narrow range of temperature.

The optimum temperature range for respiration is 20- 30-degree Celsius in which the enzyme work efficiently and the respiration is carried out.

So, the correct option is ' 20-30°C'
