Biomolecules Question 147
Question: As temperature changes from $ 3^{o}C $ to $ 45^{o}C $ , the rate of enzyme activity will [MP PMT 1996]
Options:
A) Decrease and then increase
B) Increase and then decrease
C) Increase only
D) Decrease only
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
If temperature increases from $ 3^{o}C $ to $ 45^{o}C $ , firstly it reaches to optimum condition and later temperature conditions are not optimum for enzyme activity.
Thus the rate of enzyme activity initially increases and then decreases.
