Question

a bacterium was discovered in several hot springs. the temperature of the springs can range from 50 to 80 degrees celsius. scientists investigate an enzyme from this bacterium. they set up the data table shown to record their results. experimental data to be collected tube of enzyme culture environmental temperature (°c) reaction rate at 0 minutes reaction rate at 5 minutes reaction rate at 10 minutes reaction rate at 20 minutes 1 5 2 22 3 37 4 60 5 80 6 100 which question could be answered using the data to be collected? a how does the enzymes shape change over time? b how does temperature affect the reaction rate of the enzyme? c how does substrate concentration affect the reaction rate of the enzyme? d how does the active site of an enzyme change with different temperatures?

Explanation:

The data table records reaction rates at different environmental temperatures. This data can be used to analyze the impact of temperature on the reaction rate of the enzyme. There is no data about enzyme - shape, substrate concentration, or active - site changes.

Answer:

B. How does temperature affect the reaction rate of the enzyme?
