    Q1. Enzymes in the human body generally reach their maximum rate of reaction at which specific temperature according to PTB?

    • A) 25 degrees Celsius
    • B) 45 degrees Celsius
    • C) 37 degrees Celsius
    • D) 98 degrees Celsius

    Answer: 37 degrees Celsius

    Explanation: Human enzymes function optimally at 37 degrees Celsius; 25 degrees is standard room temperature and results in lower kinetic energy for collisions.
