    Enzymes are functional at:

    A) \[10-15{{\,}^{o}}C\]       

    B) \[15-25{{\,}^{o}}C\]

    C) \[25-30{{\,}^{o}}C\]       

    D) \[30-50{{\,}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Enzymes are thermolabile and their activity increases rapidly \[0{{\,}^{o}}C-35{{\,}^{o}}C.\]In most of the animals, the optimum temperature is between \[25{{\,}^{o}}C-40{{\,}^{o}}C\]for most of the enzymes. Many  enzymes stop activity at \[60{{\,}^{o}}C\]and are denatured. The freezing low temperature  stops the activity of enzymes as these become metabolically inactive but are not destroyed. It is to be noted, that with rise of \[10{{\,}^{o}}C,\] the reaction rate is doubled while the catalytic activity of enzyme and degree of dispersity of colloids are decreased.
