How does an increase in temperature (up to the optimum) affect enzyme activity?
-
Increases activity due to more frequent effective collisions
-
Decreases activity by denaturing the enzyme
-
Has no effect on the active site
-
Increases activity by increasing the activation energy
📝 Detailed explanation
Higher temperature increases kinetic energy, making particles move faster and collide with the active site more often and with more energy.
