    The document discusses how temperature affects enzyme action. It asks students to answer questions about how increasing temperature affects reaction rate, what denaturing is, and why enzymes have different optimum temperatures in mammals versus plants. Specifically, it addresses how reaction rate increases up to an optimum temperature but then declines and ceases as the temperature continues rising due to enzyme denaturing.
