Question

Please help!!

A medical company has developed a product that contains an enzyme that helps lactose intolerant individuals digest the sugar lactose, which is found in many dairy products. The company would like to know the ideal temperature at which to store this new medication. Based on the data displayed in the graph, at which temperature would you suggest the pharmaceutical company store the medication and why?

A The medication should be stored in an ice container because the data shows that the enzyme resists denaturing at colder temperatures

B The medication should be stored at room temperature because the enzyme has most effectively catalyzed the reaction at this temperature

C The medication should be stored in warm water because the heat from the water sped up the rate of the reaction to its optimal level

D The medication should be stored in hot water because the reaction took the least amount of time to convert the substrate into the product

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Everything else is unverified. The only thing proven by the graph is that room temperature has the highest rate of reaction.
