What is the optimal temperature for this enzyme? What temperature would you keep it at to slow down enzyme activity without denaturing the enzyme?
Optimal = between 60 degrees
Temperature to slow activity = ~30 degrees

Double Jeopardy:
Explain why the graph hits a plateau.
All enzymes are occupied so adding additional substrate (as measured by the X axis) does not increase the rate of react/enzyme activity (as measured by the Y axis). All enzymes being occupied means additional substrates does not yield additional enzyme activity/reactions.
