A group of students conducts research on enzyme activity and collects the data shown in the graphs.
Which statement is supported by the evidence in the graphs?
a
The enzyme is very active at approximately 42°C and within a pH range of 2 to 6.
b
The enzyme's activity is greatest at pH 7 and would not be affected by a change in temperature.
c
The enzyme functions well at a temperature of 35°C and would be active at any pH value.
d
The enzyme works best in a pH range of 6 to 8 and at a temperature of approximately 37° C.
The correct statement supported by the evidence in the graphs is:
d
The enzyme works best in a pH range of 6 to 8 and at a temperature of approximately 37°C.
