AP Biology questions are contained.

The effects of pH and temperature were studied for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The following results were obtained.

a. How do (1) temperature and (2) pH affect the activity of this enzyme? lii your answer, include a discussion of the relationship between the structure and the function of this enzyme, as well as a discussion of how structure and function of enzymes are affected by temperature and pH.

b. Describe a controlled experiment that could have produced the data shown for either temperature or pH. Be sure to state the hypothesis that was tested here.

Help is given in these areas.

The effects of pH and temperature are noted.
