(i) Increase in temperature increases the rate of enzyme reaction; because increase in temperature increases kinetic energy
causing substrate-enzyme collision
(ii) The rate of reaction is at maximum/best; because enzymes are working at their optimum temperature
(iii) The rate of reaction decreases with increase in temperature; because increase in temperature above optimum denatures
the enzymes.
(iv) PH; substrate concentration; enzyme inhibitors; co-factors and co-enzymes.
