10 An enzyme in potato cells causes oxygen to be produced from hydrogen peroxide.
Cubes of potatoes were incubated with hydrogen peroxide at different temperatures.
The number of bubbles of oxygen released per minute was counted at each temperature.
The table shows the results.
The results suggest the optimum temperature for the enzyme is between which two values?
A 15°C and 35°C
B 35°C and 45°C
C 35°C and 55°C
D 45°C and 55°C
