Question

What do the two axes (X and Y) represent?

X-axis Y-axis

• A. Enzymatic activity Temperature
• B. Substrate concentration Enzymatic activity
• C. Temperature Enzyme activity
• D. Enzymatic activity pH

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Temperature Enzyme activity

As the temperature increases, the enzymatic activity of an enzyme also increases.

Enzyme activity is maximum at the optimum temperature of the enzyme.

As the temperature of the system further increases, the enzyme gets denatured due to excess heat, resulting in a significant drop in enzyme activity.
