Question
what happens to the enzyme as the temperature increases above 50 degrees? percent maximum activity temperature the enzyme activity decreases the enzyme activity stays the same the enzyme activity increases the enzyme activity stops completely clear my selection
Enzymes have an optimal temperature for maximum activity. Beyond this optimal point, increased temperature disrupts the enzyme's structure (denaturation), reducing its activity. From the graph, above 50 degrees Celsius, the percent maximum activity of the enzyme drops sharply.
