Heat would make most enzymes unnecessary as added heat would allow (many) reaction to achieve activation energy without the need of a helping enzyme. In a biological system most enzymes are proteins and as heat denatures proteins the effect would be to destroy their functionality.

What factors affect the rate of enzyme activity?
-Heat, temperature, &pHtemperature, pH level, concentration of enzyme, concentration of substrate( my sec.1 science book)
What is the effect of heat on enzymes?
To a certain point, heat will increase enzyme activity because more collisions will be taking place between the enzyme and substrates. However, if there is too much heat, an enzyme can denature (change its shape) and inactivate. This is caused because the increase in heat disrupts the bonds in the tertiary structure of the enzyme. Due to the disruption of bonds, the enzyme can no longer interact with the substrates.
What affect does too much substrate have on the rate of an enzyme reaction?
The enzyme becomes saturated by the substrate and enzyme activity plateaus.
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.
Temperature and can affect enzyme activity?
Ph level, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration etc
What factors affect the rate of enzyme activity?
-Heat, temperature, &pHtemperature, pH level, concentration of enzyme, concentration of substrate( my sec.1 science book)
What is the effect of excess heat or temperature on an enzyme-?
With a lot of heat, the enzyme will be denatured meaning it will lose its shape and therefore its function.
What are 3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalyzed reaction?
3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalysed reaction are: .Temperature .Enzyme Concentartion .Substrate concentration
How does increasing enzyme concentration affect the rate of enzyme action when the enzyme concentration remains constant?
It doesn't
What is the effect of excess heat or temperature on enzyme?
Each enzyme has its ideal temperature

What things can you do to an enzyme to denature it?
heat it
What can cause an enzyme to be denatured?
Heat
What can affect a biological function?
enzyme
What affect does too much substrate have on the rate of an enzyme reaction?
The enzyme becomes saturated by the substrate and enzyme activity plateaus.
Does freezing a enzyme affect it?
When an enzyme is frozen, it only slows down activity. Unlike boiling an enzyme, it does not stop it from working.
What factors affect enzyme production?
you can say enzyme reaction depends on ph, temp
