This figure is a graph. The y axis is labeled reaction rate, while the x axis is labeled pH. The x axis ranges from 0 to 14. The plot line is U shaped, beginning approximately three quarters of the way up the y axis and gradually dipping down to its low point at a pH of 6. The plot line then gradually rises again to its highest point at a pH of 12. It then dips back down to about three quarters of the way up the y axis at a pH of 14. Image Courtesy of 3DScience.com Based on the graph above, how well will the enzyme perform as a catalyst when placed in a pH 7 solution, such as water? It will perform optimally because the pH conditions are optimal. It will perform poorly because it will immediately denature. It will perform less than optimally unless the pH is increased. It will perform optimally unless the pH is decreased. You must check the box below prior to submitting your exam!
