Abstract
The experiments showed that, within limits, the higher the temperature, the greater is the rate of digestion. The results were interpreted according to the Arrhenius formula. Thus, when the log. of the rate is plotted against [Formula: see text], two intersecting straight lines are obtained, having "μ's" of 21,000 and 7,000 respectively.
