Answer:
The biological significance is that it is the normal human body temperature and also the optimum temperature of the enzyme.
Explanation:
- Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions.
- Enzymes catalyze specific reactions by working on a specific substrate to convert it into a product.
- The rate of enzyme activity depends on several factors which include pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration among others.
- Enzymes work best at a specific pH and temperature known as optimum pH and optimum temperature respectively.
- In this case, enzyme amylase works best at a temperature of 37° C which is equivalent to the normal human body temperature.
