Answer:
The enzyme shows increased activity up to a certain temperature.
Explanation:
An enzyme is mostly a protein molecule/a biologist catalyst that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction in a cell.
Enzymes lower the reaction's activation energy by attaching to the reactant molecule and positioning itself in a manner that readily facilitates chemical-bond breaking and forming process.
As the temperature increases, the rate of enzyme catalyzed reaction increases up to a maximum level (optimum temperature) and then decreases abruptly with any further temperature increase.This optimum temperature is 40°C for most animal enzymes.The abrupt decline in the rate of reaction after the optimum temperature is caused by the denaturing of enzymes by temperatures above 40°C.
