A medical company has developed a product that contains an enzyme that helps lactose intolerant individuals digest the sugar lactose, which is found in many dairy products. The medication should be stored at a temperature that has a lower rate of reaction than in the body. The company would like to know the ideal temperature at which to store this new medication. During a controlled experiment, the following data is collected: Based on the data, at which temperature would you suggest the pharmaceutical company store the medication and why? A.The medication should be stored at room temperature because the enzyme has most effectively catalyzed the reaction at this temperature. B.The medication should be stored at a cold temperature because the data shows that the enzyme action slows down at colder temperatures. C.The medication should be stored in hot water because the enzyme denatures at higher temperatures. D.The medication should be stored in warm water because the heat from the water sped up the rate of the reaction to its optimal level.

The most suitable temperature to store a medication is the cold temperature because the activity of enzyme is slower at lower temperature. Higher temperature cause denaturation of enzymes while at 37 degree Celsius temperature, the enzyme activity is maximum so both high temperature and room temperature is not good for the medication whereas temperature less than 5 degree Celsius is the best to store medication.
