What is the effect of increasing temperature on the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, according to the general trend?
The rate of reaction decreases continuously.
The rate of reaction increases to a certain point then decreases.
The rate of reaction remains constant.
The rate of reaction decreases to a certain point then increases.
Explanation
Generally, the rate of reaction increases with increasing temperature until the enzyme denatures, at which point the rate decreases.
