Look at the graph.

It shows the rate of mitochondrial enzyme activity in alligators in winter and summer. 4.0 3.5

Key winter summer

3.0 2.5 enzyme activity rate 2.0 in arbitrary units 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 15

25 temperature in °C

Compare the effect of temperature on enzyme activity rate at the different times of the year. ................................................................................................................................................... ................................................................................................................................................... ................................................................................................................................................... ................................................................................................................................................... ..............................................................................................................................................
