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)

HURRYY!!<br><br> Why have American's portion sizes become larger in the last decade?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

American's portion sizes have become larger in the last decade due to the expanding of food industries and marketing campaigns that tell us to eat more.

Explanation:

The growth of food industries in the last decades to obtain more money in combination with the media influence has led us to eat more, thus why the size of our portions has increased their size.

Another theory states that people always want to eat more, and the industry has only fulfilled this demand, but it is not clear why, in the past, this did not happen.
