If the concentration of enzyme increases, then reaction should speed up (answer C).
enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering activation energy to provide an alternative pathway of reaction mechanism. assuming that enzyme which usually is the limiting factor, the increase of enzyme concentration should lead to more product formation i.e. maltose from the breakdown of starch.
the enzyme discussed here should be amylase.

higher temperature beyond optimum value enzyme found in our human body will usually least to denaturation of active site of enzyme. hence lead to loss of enzyme activity permanently.

Which statement is true?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: c. Matter and energy are conserved in chemical reactions.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of matter, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side.

For every chemical reaction, the law of conservation of energy is applicable which states that the energy of the system remains conserved. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.  It can be transformed from one form to another.

Why are bubbles and precipitates both signs of chemical change
BartSMP [9]

Answer:(I didn’t really know where to Wrigh-)

Explanation: Gas bubbles appear after a chemical reaction has occurred and the mixture becomes saturated with gas. The chemical change that creates the gas is completed after the gas bubbles leave the mixture.
