Which description best explains the patterns of temperature effects shown?
each enzyme has it own optimal temperature range.
What happens when enzyme reaches optimal temperature?
The optimal function of the enzyme is impeded and if the temperature rises too high the enzyme, mostly protein, will degrade and become useless.
Do Temperature of the cytoplasm influence the action of enzymes?
Yes, enzymes have optimal working temperatures that differ from enzyme to enzyme
What can effect the shape of an enzyme molecule?
Temperature
Is temperature a factor that affects enzyme activity?
yes. at low temperature enzymes won't work as effectively, and at high temperature enzymes are denatured.
What is the effect of excess heat or temperature on an enzyme-?
With a lot of heat, the enzyme will be denatured meaning it will lose its shape and therefore its function.
Will enzyme activity increase with an increase in temperature?
Warmer temperatures mean little more than that molecules are moving more rapidly. This promotes enzyme activity on its own, however, as movement allows the enzymes to react to more material in a shorter amount of time.
Give the substrate of enzyme maltase?
maltose, its products are glucose, the organ it is used in is duodenum, its optimal pH is 6.1-6.8, and its optimal temperature is 35-40 degrees Celsius.
What three things can alter the rate of an enzyme?
Three things that can alter the rate of an enzyme are; temperature, pH and substrate concentration. Enzymes will have an optimal temperature and pH, at which they will have the greatest rate. Below or above these optimum conditions, the rate will be slower.
What are the optimum conditions for enzyme activity in the human body?
The optimal condition for all the body systems to work at their best, including enzymes, hormones, and other chemicals that affect metabolism is a relatively balanced state that is called homeostasis.
What happens to an enzyme and structure as it exceeds the typical human body temperature?
The enzyme can denature and will not function because it is no longer in the proper shape.
What affect does temperature have on cellular enzyme activity?
Enzymes generally work within a given temperature range. As the temperature is increased the activity will increase. However if the optimum temperature is surpassed, the enzymes will stop working.
