Organism Enzyme Optimum Temperatures (°C)
Organism X 37°
Organism Y 41°
Organism X and Y live in the same environment. Organism X contracts a bacterial infection that causes its body temperature to rise to 60°C. How will this change in temperature affect enzyme activity in both organisms?
It will decrease enzyme activity in both organism X and organism Y.
It will increase enzyme activity in organism X and decrease enzyme activity in organism Y.
An increase in temperature above the optimal range will increase the reaction rate.
An increase in temperature will denature the enzyme causing a reduction in the reaction rate.
