Two enzyme experiments were carried out. The first, experiment X, was carried out at a temperature of 37°C. During the second experiment the temperature was increased from 37°C to 80°C. All other factors were kept the same. Which graph shows the results?
AGraph showing product concentration over time where X (37°C) has a steady increase and then plateaus, and the 80°C line starts lower, increases rapidly, then plateaus at the same level as X.
BGraph showing product concentration over time where X (37°C) has a steady increase and then plateaus, and the 80°C line shows a rapid increase then sharp decrease, reaching zero.
CGraph showing product concentration over time where X (37°C) has a rapid increase and then plateaus, and the 80°C line starts lower and then plateaus at the same level.
DGraph showing product concentration over time where X (37°C) has a rapid increase and then plateaus, and the 80°C line also increases rapidly then decreases.
