Maximize Enzyme Activity Temperature
Hard Data Representation Understanding Graphs And Tables
A team of researchers studied the effect of different temperatures on the enzyme activity of a specific protein. The data collected over a series of trials is summarized in the table below:
Table: Enzyme Activity at Varying Temperatures
| Temperature (°C) | Enzyme Activity (µmol/min) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 2.5 |
| 10 | 4.0 |
| 20 | 6.5 |
| 30 | 8.0 |
| 40 | 7.5 |
| 50 | 3.0 |
Based on the data, what is the temperature at which the enzyme activity is maximized?
