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.

Evaluate the hypothesis by comparing the documented data (shows effect of temperature on the rate of lipase catalysed reaction) in the table (and Q10 values you calculated) to theoretical Q10 values and trends evident in a line graph that is typically presented on a reliable website.

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 help with the rest of it too. Those two parts I have been searching for hours but can't find anything.
I don't know what Q10 is? It appears to me that there is no calculation; i.e., the first one you have Q10 = 2.125 = 2.1 = 2 . Where did those numbers come from? What is the reason it changes from 2.125 to 2?
Those are my Q10 answers from another question. I rounded the number from 2.125 to 2.

I need this to compare to the other data I have. I need to talk about the hypothesis in this question.
The Q 10 is a measure of the degree to which a biological process depends on temperature. It is defined as the ratio between the rate of a biological process at two temperatures separated by 10 °C.
