The curve given below shows enzymatic activity with relation to three conditions (pH, temperature and substrate concentration). What does the two axis (x and y) represent?

In the given curve the temperature and enzyme activity relation is shown. Enzymes generally function in a narrow range of temperatures. Each enzyme shows its highest activity at a particular temperature called the optimum temperature. Activity declines both below and above the optimum value. Low temperature preserves the enzyme in a temporarily inactive state whereas high temperature destroys enzymatic activity because proteins are denatured by heat.
