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 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.
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.
At what temperature do human enzymes work best at?
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.
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.
What factors affect the activity of enzymes?
Enzymes work best in the pH and temperature that they are " designed " for. A pepsin enzyme works best in the low pH environment of the stomach, while amylase works best at mouth temperature and ~ 7 pH. Heat and out of range pH can denature enzymes and not only affect their activity but inactivate them.
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
Why does the body stay at 37 degrees?
Enzymes work best at this temperature.
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 does a plant need to photosynthesis?
Just like animals , plants work best when the surrounding temperature is not too hot and not too cold, so I think it is about 30 ºC, when it goes over 40ºC, the enzymes in the plant dies.
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.
Enzymes work most effectively at?
Enzymes work most effectively when they are at their optimal temperature and pH.
Why mammalian enzymes have optimum temperatures of approximately 40oC whereas plant enzymes have optimum temperatures of 25oC?
Human body temp is constantly maintained at 37 degrees so our enzymes have evolved to work best at this 'warm' temperature . We like nearly all other mammals are warm blooded. Plants do not have to keep their temperature constant and generally exist in colder conditions and can tolerate far greater deviations in temperature hence their enzymes tend to work best at lower temperatures.
At what temperature do human enzymes work best at?
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.
