Question

the graphs show the reaction rate for an enzyme across a range of temperatures and ph. enzyme reaction rates rate of reaction rate of reaction 0 10 20 30 40 50 temperature (°c) 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 ph based on these data, this enzyme functions best at what temperature and ph? temperature of 27°c and a ph of 4 temperature of 37°c and a ph of 6 temperature of 40°c and a ph of 8 temperature of 50°c and a ph of 10

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze temperature - rate graph

The peak of the reaction - rate vs temperature graph occurs around 37°C.

Step2: Analyze pH - rate graph

The peak of the reaction - rate vs pH graph occurs around pH 6.

Answer:

Temperature of 37°C and a pH of 6
