Hypothesis: I predict that as the temperature increases the rate of the reaction will increase until the optimum temperature and after the optimum temperature the rate of reaction will decrease. I also think the optimum temperature will be around 40 C as it is the body temperature and any temperature after 60 C will denature the enzyme. I have predicted this using my background information, which is below, and using the collision theory. Below it states that as you increase temperature the molecules move quicker and so more successful reactions occur until a certain temperature when the active site of the enzyme starts to break down and the substrate then doesn't fit and so the reaction starts to decrease and so I predict that as you increase the temperature to around 40 which is around its optimum the reaction will increase but over that the reaction will start to decrease. Background Information Enzymes...
