Question

Three enzymes, P, Q and R, were extracted from different regions of the
alimentary canal of a mammal. The effect of pH on the activity of the enzymes
was investigated at 40C. Explain why the investigation was carried out at 40c

Answer 1

Answer:

At 40C, the enzymes will be most active, allowing for accurate measurements of their reaction rates. This temperature is close to the body temperature of the mammal, so it is the most realistic temperature to investigate the effect of pH on the activity of the enzymes.
