I don’t see the three temperature values — could you list them?
In general: enzyme speed is slowest at low temperatures (motion/kinetic energy is low), increases with temperature up to the enzyme’s optimum (fastest near that optimum, often around the organism’s normal body temperature), and falls off at higher temperatures because the enzyme denatures.
So for example:
- 4°C, 37°C, 80°C → slowest 4°C, fastest 37°C (80°C is slow because denatured).
- 10°C, 22°C, 40°C → slowest 10°C, fastest 40°C (if 40°C is still near the enzyme’s optimum).
Tell me the three temperatures shown and I’ll order them precisely.
