Which statement is true about enzymes?

• The shape of an enzyme's active site matches the shape of its substrate

• Enzymes are used up in biological reactions

• Enzymes work faster at higher temperatures

• Every enzyme has one specific substrate that it breaks down or builds up.

The graph shows the effect of temperature on an enzyme. Which statement explains the trend from 10-70^oC?

• As temperature increases, enzyme activity increases

• 70^oC is the optimum temperature for this enzyme

• As temperature increases, enzymes become denatured.

• As temperature increases, enzyme activity decreases.

• As temperature increases, molecules gain more kinetic energy and have more successful collisions
