My Q10 values:
T°C = 10°C
Q10 = 2.125 = 2.1 = 2
T°C = 30°C
Q10 = 1.96969696969697 = 2.0
T°C = 45°C
Q10 = 0.2586206896551724 = 0.3
Before starting the experiment that resulted in the data displayed in the Table, a student decided upon the following hypothesis;
‘As temperature increases from 10°C to 40°C the rate of the lipase catalysed reaction will increase steadily, with 40°C being the enzyme’s optimum. Above this optimum temperature, the rate of reaction rapidly decreases as lipase becomes increasingly denatured’
i) Provide an evaluation based on this hypothesis, by comparing the processed data documented in the Table (and also obtained from the Q10 calculations), to theoretical data / trends.
ii) Based on this comparison, would you confidently accept or reject the student’s hypothesis? Explain your choice.
2) ‘The optimal temperature for enzymes found in the Human body is 37°C’.
Explain how the student could extend the investigation to determine the reliability of this statement.

I can do this homework but I need help with:
1) Theoretical Q10 values
2) Trends evident in a line graph that is typically presented on a reliable website
These are the two parts of the homework I need help with.

I need this to compare to the other data I have. I need to talk about the hypothesis in this question.
