How does the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reactions vary with `(a)` temperature and `(b)` `pH?` Represent diagrammatically.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As the temperature or `pH` is increased, the rate rise till it is maximum at `37^(@)C` (physiological temperature) or `pH=7.4` and then falls off (as shows in the figure).
