What is optimal temperature?

Answer 1

Increase in temperature speeds up the the rate of enzymes catalyzed reactions but only to a point .Every enzymes work at its maximum rate at a specific temperatures called as OPTIMUM TEMPERATURE for that enzyme

Answer 2

The temperature at which an enzyme produces the highest reaction rate for a specific reaction. If the temperature is increased or decreases then the tertiary structure is altered by breaking old and folming new atractions. This change changes the shape of the active site and so the substrate cannot fit as easily and the reaction rate will decrease.

Answer 3

Optimal means the very best environment for a species, or an animal, or an ecosystem.

So the optimal environment for, say, a whale would be:

* plenty of clean ocean with the right salinity and temperature,

* no pollution or plastic garbage,

* good supplies of krill for feeding,

* no predators (whaling fleets),

* no noise pollution or sonar noise from navy ships that might drive their navigation systems askew and send them up onto a beach, and

* not too many ecotourists buzzing them in little boats and getting too close to them and their calves.

Answer 4

The optimal temperature can vary depending on the specific circumstances, but for most indoor environments and human comfort, a temperature between 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit (20-22 degrees Celsius) is generally considered optimal. It’s important to consider individual preferences and health conditions when determining the best temperature for any given situation.

Answer 5

An optimum in Biology is the most favorable environment for growth and reproduction of an organism in respect to the amount of heat, light, moisture, food, etc., available.

Answer 6

Optimal temperature is the temperature at which something works best.

Answer 7

The optimal temperature is the temperature at which a reaction takes place at the highest rate. The optimal pH also results in ideal reaction rates.
