Question

A solution of an enzyme and a substrate was placed in a water bath and the temperature of the reaction was raised gradually. The graph shown was plotted at the end of the experiment.

Answer 1

the reaction rate increases upto certain level and later reaction level fall as the enzyme get degenerated due to heavy temperature

Answer 2

We are aware of the fact that enzymes are catalyst that speed up the reaction without being involved in them. When the equilibrium level disturbs in a solution containing enzymes, the reaction rate alters.

Similarly, when temperature is raised high, the reactivity rate of the enzyme will alter, it goes high and good amount of products will be produced but if the temperature is keep on raising the enzyme will denature due to structure disorientation.
