Enzymes that can function at boiling water temperatures or other harsh conditions would be termed?
Extremoenzymes
Why does boiling the enzymes reduce the enzymes catalytic effectiveness?
destroy if by which you mean denatures then yes boiling will do that, because the enzyme's form / shape has been change and that changes its function
What does boiling do to the enzymes in the liver?
Boiling denatures (destroys ) enzymes .
What effect does boiling have on enzyme digestion?
Many proteins coagulate at temperatures above 70°C (A boiled egg is an obvious example).
Why boiling affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis requires many enzymes to function. An example of one of these enzymes is rubisco, which is involved in carbon fixation to RuBP. All enzymes have a specific range of variables in which they perform optimally, like pH ranges or in this case temperature. At a boiling point temperature, it is likely photosynthesis will be nonexistent or at minimal levels. This is because at such a high temperature the enzymes can become denatured, and fail to perform. This of course is not true for all types of photosynthesis, as there are some bacteria that are able to perform photosynthesis at extreme temperatures.
Do enzymes contiune to function after being frozen or boiled?
I am not sure if they work after being frozen sorry. But, once enzymes reach a certain high temperature they will denature causing them to become inactive. This process is irreversible. So therefore after boiling an enzyme it will no longer function.
What effect does boiling have on enzymic activity?
Boiling usually destroys enzymes.
What effect does cooking have on enzyme activity?
You mean heating the enzymes? heating to a certain degree increases their rate of catalytic activity, until about 30-40 degrees Celsius. However if you continue heating, the enzyme's basic structure will be deformed (it changes shape), and since structure is essential to function, the enzymes activity will be reduced. that happens around 60-70 degrees Celsius, but it is different in various organisms.
What is the saturation temperature of vapour or the boiling temperature of a liquid?
Different liquids have different boiling temperatures, even the same liquid will have different boiling temperatures at varying pressures.
What is the boiling temperature in degrees Celsius?
Different substances have different boiling temperatures.
What are the temperatures for boiling water?
The boiling point of water is 100 degree celsius
What is the Difference between heat labile and heat stable substances?
Heat labile substances are destroyed or corrupted by heat, for example many proteins lose their structure (unfold) at temperatures considerably lower than boiling point. Heat stable substances maintain form and function at higher temperatures. Heat stable/labile properties are often used in biochemistry to distinguish organic molecules such as enzymes, cell proteins and toxins.
