If the temperature is too low, enzyme molecules don’t have enough kinetic energy to collide and combine with other substrate molecules. So the enzyme activity/ reaction rate will be very low. The rate will rise again once the temperature increases to its optimum temperature.
But if the temperature is too high, enzyme will be denatured, which means the shape of the active site of the enzyme is changed. It can no long combine with other substrate molecules. The rate will drop significantly. Yet, lowering the temperature won’t help because denaturation is permanent and irreversible.
The great/best answer is d. By definition the proportion of false-positive results among those who test positive is 1 minus the positive predictive value. If this number is lower in population A, then population A has a higher positive predictive value. As the disease prevalence increases, the positive predictive value increases. Population A has a higher positive predictive value; therefore, the disease must be more prevalent in population A.
<span>Answer a is not correct since adequate information is provided to infer the explanation for the finding. Answers b and e are incorrect since specificity is a characteristic of a test and does not change when the test is applied to different populations with varying disease prevalence. Answer c is incorrect since the prevalence of disease must be higher in population A as the positive predictive value is higher in population A</span>
