Question

Explain why increasing temp from below the optimum towards the optimum increases the rate of reaction.

Accepted Answer

Increasing temp from below optimum:Increasing temp increases kinetic energy of the particlesThis causes the particles to move faster and collide more frequentlyResults in more frequent successful collisions between substrate and enzyme --> increase in rate
