Answer:

Optimum temperature in enzymes mean, the maximum temperature that an enzyme is most active in.

Explanation:

Temperature affects enzymes and their functioning. Optimum temperature refers to temperature in which an enzyme best functions in. This is where it is at its best catalytic state.

High temperatures above 50°C denatures protein (enzymes) by interfering with their structures whereas low temperatures renders them inactive. They stay in a dormant state that gets activated when they are shifted to their optimal temperature range (30°C to 50°C)

What are the dated fossils called that help scientists to identify or date rocks or fossils?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Index fossils

Explanation:

The index fossils are the fossils that come in very handy for the geologists when it comes to identifying or dating rock samples or other fossils. The reason for this is that the index fossils have already been dated. They are fossils that are very commonly found, wide dispersed, are easy to be identified, and are limited to only a certain geological period. These characteristics make them an excellent indicator for the dating of the rock layers in which they are found, or the fossils found in the same layers with them, without conducting further examinations.
