The temperature coefficient (Q10) indicates how much a reaction rate changes with a 10°C rise; for enzymes, it's usually 2, doubling the rate.
The temperature coefficient (Q10) measures the rate change with a 10°C temperature increase; for enzyme-controlled reactions, it's typically 2, meaning the rate doubles.
