Compare optimal temperature for sucrose activity to body temperature

1 Answer

4 votes

Answer:

The optimal temperature for sucrase activity is higher than body temperature

Explanation:

The optimal temperature for sucrase activity is 40 °C. That means the activity decreases both when the temperature is higher than 40 °C and when it is lower.

Body temperature is 37 °C, so the enzyme is working at less than maximum efficiency.

If your body temperature drops, the sucrase activity will decrease. If you get a fever, the activity will increase.
