Heat will increase the rate of any chemical reaction. This is because a chemical reaction require three things: The molecules to collide, collide with enough energy, and collide in the correct orientation. With increased heat you increase the number of collision and the energy with which molecules collide. For non-organic enzymatic reactions(ex platinum catalyzes several hydrogen reaction) heat will speed up the reaction. For organic reactions heat will only increase the rate up to a point. If the temperature gets too hot it begins to denature the enzyme and the enzyme will no longer work.

What environment factors can affect the activity of an enzyme?
temperature
What are 3 things that can alter enzyme activity?
1. Temperature. 2. P.H level. 3. Enzyme concentration
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.
What 2 things can affect enzyme activity?
Temperature.Ph Levels.Specificity.Concentration of enzymes and substrate.Cofactors/co enzymes.Inhibitors.
Can an earthquake be caused by temperature?
Not by temperature variations at Earth's surface, no. However, temperature variations in Earth's mantle play a role in plate tectonics, and so can affect earthquake activity.
Does temperature affect amylase activity?
yes it does
What environment factors can affect the activity of an enzyme?
temperature
What may affect enzyme activity?
Temperature, pH, salt concentration
How does temperature affect fish?
Temperatures affect speed of metabolism, enzyme activity, and the blood's ability to carry oxygen.
How does temperature affect activity of acids?
temperature affects the activity of all chemicals, A car battery (with acid) can on really cold days not produce enough energy to start a car.
Does air temperature affect earthquake strength?
no. climate and seismic activity have no connection whatsoever
What are 3 things that can alter enzyme activity?
1. Temperature. 2. P.H level. 3. Enzyme concentration
How does freezing temperature affect mocroorganisms and enzymes?
Freezing temperature make ice of the water in bacteria and completely stop there metabolic activity. Enzymes do not work at freezing temperature as they have no scope for movement in solid ice. So there activity halted.
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.
Temperature and can affect enzyme activity?
Ph level, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration etc
What can affect enzyme activity?
pH Temperature Substrate Concentration non-ideal conditions will ultimately lead to the denaturing of the enzyme
What 2 things can affect enzyme activity?
Temperature.Ph Levels.Specificity.Concentration of enzymes and substrate.Cofactors/co enzymes.Inhibitors.
