A person who is ill with fever will experience an increased basal metabolic rate. The body’s metabolism contains all of the chemical and biological process needed for the conversion of food into energy and the use of it like digestion and excretion. So when we become sick, the metabolism speeds up to fight the illness.

The answer to this will be from your lab notes/procedure. it would be best to ask another student who participated in the lab as we do not know what was done, what enzyme or if the temperature is celsius or fahrenheit. if i were to guess though i'd say the rate stopped due to enzyme denturing at high temperature
