Enzyme show optimum activity between 37°C and 50°C It, however loses activity permanently above
Correct answer: C. it loses activity permanently above 50°C
- A. Above 40°C
- B. Below 37°C
- C. it loses activity permanently above 50°C
- D. It loses activity permanently below 37°C
Explanation
If the optimum temperature for an enzyme is 37°C to 50°C, it means that increasing temperature above 50°C, will denature the enzyme and it will lose its activity permanently.Hence, option C is correct.

About Macromolecules
Proteins are classified by shape, composition and structure, from primary amino acid sequence to secondary, tertiary and quaternary organisation, and their biological roles are linked to this structure. Enzymes are examined as protein biocatalysts, including active sites, substrate specificity, activation energy, cofactors and factors affecting activity.
