What else can I help you with?
What does ammonia do to things?
Ammonia will denature enzymes.
Do enzymes get broken down?
Yes.. There are protein and they can be denature
How can enzymes be made useless?
large amounts of heat can denature enzymes and render them useless
What are the factors of denature enzymes?
Factors that can denature enzymes include high temperatures, extreme pH levels, and exposure to certain chemicals or solvents. These conditions can disrupt the shape and structure of the enzyme, leading to loss of its function.
Why cant a plant get too hot?
because enzymes used in photosynthesis denature
When testing for starch why the leaf is boiled?
to denature the enzymes going to kill the leaf
What chemical in the stomach begins to denature protein in the stomach?
They are the enzymes . Predominant one is Pepsin
Does boiling water kill enzymes?
Enzymes are not alive, so they cannot be killed. Typically though, bringing an enzyme to a boiling temperature is enough to denature it. There's no evidence though that denatured enzymes in food at all affects the nutritional effects of the food.
What does boiling do to the enzymes in the liver?
Boiling can denature enzymes in the liver, meaning it can alter their shape and structure. This can render the enzymes inactive or less effective in carrying out their biological functions.
Can salivary enzymes function in the acidic environment of the stomach?
No, enzymes like salivary amylase will denature when subjected to the low pH of the gastric juices. This is why there are similar, but slightly different enzymes released in the stomach. Some (like pepsin) are only activated through the high hydrochloric acid concentration.
What make proteins like enzymes unwind when placed in extreme pH or temperature conditions?
Denature
Advantages of thermophilic enzymes than mesophilic enzymes?
Thermophilic enzymes are stable (they grow and thrive) at temperatures between 60-80 degrees Celsius. This makes them easier to study. This is because mesophilic enzymes will denature at these temperatures, and unlike mesophilic enzymes, thermophilic enzymes will not denature at room temp (25 degrees Celsius, making it easier for scientist to work with thermophilic enzymes. In other words, in biotechnology thermoenzymes have thermo stablity that mesophilic enzymes do not, making them much better use under certain conditions ( where mesophilic enzymes would denature).
