Question

8) Amylase becomes denatured at a temperature of 80°C. During an experiment to study the effect of varying temperature on enzyme activity, amylase's reactivity with starch was measured at body temperature (37°C), and then again at an increased temperature of 42°C. How would this increase in temperature affect the experiment?

Answer 1

The correct answer is this: THE RATE OF REACTION WILL INCREASE.
From the question given above, it can be seen that the amylase enzyme has the temperature capacity that is much greater than 42 degree Celsius.Thus, the rate of activity of the enzyme at 42 degree Celsius will be greater than that of 36 degree Celsius.
