You are working with a specific enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the lab.  You are a very careful experimentalist, and as a result, at the beginning of each of your experiments, you measure the temperature in the lab.  On days 1 through 5, the temperature in the lab was 20oC.  Today is day 6 of your experiment, and the temperature in the lab is 30oC.  How do you predict that this will alter the rate of your enzyme-catalyzed reaction?

A. It will decrease the rate.
B. It could possibly increase or decrease the rate.
C. It will increase the rate.
D. It will not affect the rate.
