Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the Graphs

Examine the graphs for Enzyme A and Enzyme B to understand how their activity changes with temperature. Both graphs show the relative rate of enzyme action on the y-axis and temperature on the x-axis.

Step 2: Identify the Optimal Temperature

Determine the temperature at which each enzyme has the highest activity. For Enzyme A, the peak activity is at 40°C. For Enzyme B, the peak activity is at 50°C.

Step 3: Compare the Enzyme Activities

Compare the activity levels of both enzymes at different temperatures. Enzyme A reaches its peak activity faster (at a lower temperature) than Enzyme B, which peaks at a higher temperature.

Final Answer

B. Enzyme A changes faster than B.
