What the Enzyme have several important properties not seen in inorganic catalysts?
• Enzymes are typically much more specialized -- they will only work for a few chemical reactions of particular compounds or groups of closely related compounds. • Enzymes will only work in a very narrow temperature and pH range, closely related to the biological context in which they operate; going outside this range may well denature and deactivate them. Inorganic catalysts are typically much more robust.
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.
Why are buffers needed in the blood?
because it is alkaline in nature
Are enzymes needed in large amounts to function?
no because: How do enzymes work? Enzymes work by breaking apart large complex compounds (substrates) into smaller, more readily absorbed nutrients that bacteria can utilize. Only very small quantities of enzymes are needed to change very large quantities of substrate: typically enzyme to substrate ratios can range from 1:1,000 to 1:1,000,000.
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.
Does all enzymes work well on every temperature?
Far from it. Most enzymes only work well in a characteristic, rather narrow range of temperatures.
Can enzymes work over a broad range of PH levels?
Most enzymes work best at a certain pH, however there are some enzymes that can operate over a broad pH range.
Are pH level and enzymes related?
Most enzymes only work in a certain pH range; pH is not dependent on the presence of enzymes, however.
Which enzymes work best in acid?
trypsin
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.

Why does the body stay at 37 degrees?
Enzymes work best at this temperature.
At what temperature do the enzymes in the digestive system work best at?
body 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 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.
