Enzymes

Question

The curve given below shows enzymatic activity in relation to some conditions (pH, temperature etc.). What do the two axes (X and Y) represents?

Easy

A

X: Enzymatic activity; Y: pH
B

X: Temperature; Y: Enzymatic activity
C

X: Substrate concentration; Y: Enzymatic activity
D

X: Enzymatic activity; Y: Temperature

Solution

Enzymes generally function in a narrow range of temperature and pH. Each enzyme shows its highest activity at a particular temperature and pH called the optimum temperature and optimum pH. Activity declines both below and above the optimum values.
