What does a temperature versus enzyme activity curve look like on a graph?
A temperature vs. enzyme activity curve would look like an upside down U. The highest point would be the enzymes optimum temperature ie. where it is most effective. To the left of it, the slope will be increasing, meaning that as temperature approaches the optimum temperature, activity increases. To the right, the slope would be negative, meaning that as the temperature goes beyondthe optimum temperature, activity decreases as the enzyme protein denatures.
