HELP!!!

How does temperature affect enzyme activity in a chemical reaction?

A.The rate of a chemical reaction initially increases with decreasing temperature and then decreases, eventually stopping, when the
temperature gets too low.

B.The rate of a chemical reaction initially increases with increasing temperature and continues to increase indefinitely as temperature
continues to increase.

C.The rate of a chemical reaction always decreases with increasing temperature and always increases with decreasing temperature.

D.The rate of a chemical reaction initially increases with increasing temperature and then decreases, eventually stopping, when the
temperature gets too high.

Answer:

Factors affecting enzyme activity

Temperature: Raising temperature generally speeds up a reaction, and lowering temperature slows down a reaction. However, extreme high temperatures can cause an enzyme to lose its shape (denature) and stop working. pH: Each enzyme has an optimum pH range.
