Enzymes in the human body work best at human body temperature, so about 35-40 degrees (Celsius). A lower temperature would have too low of an effect to be able to sustain life, and a higher temperature causes the enzyme to denature (unravel) and be rendered ineffective.

∙ 7y agoThe optimum temperature for human enzymes is around 40 degrees Celsius, hence the normal body temperature of a human is 37.5 degrees Celsius. If the temperature decreases then the enzymes will not catalyze the chemical reactions in our bodies fast enough to sustain life. If the temperature increases above that then the enzymes will start to denature and can no longer catalyze reactions.

What determines the effectiveness of enzymes?
The temperature in which the enzymes are effects the effectiveness of enzymes. Enzymes work best at a temperature of 37 which is the body temperature.
At what temperature do plant enzymes work best?
Enzymes work best at temperatures around body temperature. If the temperature is too low, there is too little kinetic energy available for it, but if it is too high, the enzyme will be denatured, and will therefore also work slower. Enzymes work best at temperatures around body temperature. If the temperature is too low, there is too little kinetic energy available for it, but if it is too high, the enzyme will be denatured, and will therefore also work slower.
Are Enzymes are able to work at any temperature?
up to a point. All chemical reactions work faster at higher temps, but enzymes come apart at high temps. human enzymes (protiens) start to cook at about 106 to 108 degrees.
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 happens to enzymes at -0 degrees?
At 0°C enzyme action is low because the movement of molecules is low. This causes the collision frequency between enzyme and substrate to be low. Increasing the temperature speed up the movement of molecules and thus the collision frequency increases therefore enzyme action increases. Human bio enzymes work best at 37 degrees Celsius. As the temperature raises the shape of the enzyme changes and the enzyme becomes denatured. Temperature above 50 degrees Celsius will denature most human enzymes.
What determines the effectiveness of enzymes?
The temperature in which the enzymes are effects the effectiveness of enzymes. Enzymes work best at a temperature of 37 which is the body temperature.
At what temperature do the enzymes in the digestive system work best at?
body temperature
Enzymes have optimal temperatures.most human enzymes have an optimal temperature of about?
The optimal temperature of enzymes in humans is about 37c, the same as the human body's temperature. However, some enzymes work at higher temperatures than 37 but not very high because higher temperatures denatures (destroy) the enzymes.
Why does the body stay at 37 degrees?
Enzymes work best at this temperature.
At what temperature do plant enzymes work best?
Enzymes work best at temperatures around body temperature. If the temperature is too low, there is too little kinetic energy available for it, but if it is too high, the enzyme will be denatured, and will therefore also work slower. Enzymes work best at temperatures around body temperature. If the temperature is too low, there is too little kinetic energy available for it, but if it is too high, the enzyme will be denatured, and will therefore also work slower.

What temperature do emzymes work best?
the enzymes work best at 37 degree celsius in your body-it depends on the organism you talk about.
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.
How can enzymes be inactived?
All enzymes work best at a certain temperature and pH. They also need a substrate to work on. A change in pH or temperature will inactive it by denaturing it. If the substrate is very low in quantity or is absent, the enzyme will be inactive.
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.
Why would different enzymes have different temperature ranges with different optimal temperatures?
Well, it depends on where in the body the enzyme is located. however, all enzymes in the human body work within a very narrow temperature scale, they don't all have the exact same optimal temp, but they are close. for instance, enzymes in the scrotum have to be able to work at a temp three degrees or so lower than the average human body temperature.
Enzymes work most effectively at?
Enzymes work most effectively when they are at their optimal temperature and pH.
