Activity peaked at 70°C and dropped sharply above 85°C. (a) Identify the optimal temperature. (b) Explain why activity decreases above 85°C. (c) Predict how the activity of a human enzyme would compare at 70°C, and justify.\n\nMY ANSWER:\n(a) The enzyme works best around 70 degrees.\n(b) Above 85 degrees the enzyme gets too hot and stops working because it dies.\n(c) A human enzyme would have lower activity at 70°C because human enzymes are adapted to about 37°C, so at 70°C its shape would change and the active site would not fit the substrate.\n\nSCORING GUIDE (1 point each):\nPoint 1 (a): Identifies 70°C as the optimal temperature.\nPoint 2 (b): Explains that high temperature denatures the enzyme / changes its shape (active site), so the substrate can't bind. \"The enzyme dies\" does NOT earn the point.\nPoint 3 (c): Predicts lower activity AND justifies with shape change or denaturation at temperatures far above the human optimum.\n\nMs. Ochoa: \"Score yourself honestly.
