How does temperature affect enzyme activity in a chemical reaction?(1 point)
Responses
The rate of a chemical reaction always decreases with increasing temperature and always increases with decreasing temperature.
The rate of a chemical reaction always decreases with increasing temperature and always increases with decreasing temperature.
The rate of a chemical reaction initially increases with decreasing temperature and then decreases, eventually stopping, when the temperature gets too low.

The correct response is:
The rate of a chemical reaction initially increases with increasing temperature and then decreases, eventually stopping, when the temperature gets too high.
This describes the typical effect of temperature on enzyme activity: as temperature increases, enzyme activity generally increases until it reaches an optimum temperature, after which further increases in temperature can lead to denaturation of the enzyme and a decline in activity.
