The specific activity of an enzyme at a specific temperature will be dependent on both the temperature the enzyme is operating at as well as the concentrations of the substrates (the starting materials of the reaction that the enzyme catalyzes) and products (the end materials of the reaction) present around the enzyme. However, as a general rule, the activity of an enzyme will be different at at 5 centigrade than it will be at 25 centigrade.
What else can I help you with?
A change in the rate of enzyme action in aquatic invertebrates would most directly result from a change in what?
A change in the rate of enzyme action in aquatic invertebrates would most directly result from a change in temperature, pH, or substrate availability in their environment. These factors can influence the activity and efficiency of enzymes in these organisms.
What is the average temperature of the Yarra River?
Water temperatures are between 16.5 degrees Centigrade to 20 degrees Centigrade.
How do temperature pH and enzyme concentration each influence enzyme activity?
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a poisonous byproduct of metabolism that can damage cells if it is not removed. Catalase is an enzyme that speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2).
What is centigrade?
It means the temperature in degrees Celsius. From freezing to boiling water: 100 degrees. Centigrade is another term for Celsius.
What is 0 degrees centigrade?
32 degrees Fahrenheit- the temperature at which water freezes.
The temperature of boiling water is?
100 degrees Centigrade or 212 degrees Fahrenheit
Why would an enzyme produce more product at one temperature more so then another?
Enzymes do not 'produce' products. They increase the speed of the reactions they work on, for instance we react starch with water to produce maltose, and this is catalysed by amylase. Temperature affects the activity of the enzyme because of two factors:Thermal motion. As the temperature decreases, particles move more slowly and therefore collide less frequently, consequently the reactants and the enzyme encounter each other less often and the reaction is slowed.Denaturing. Above a certain temperature the chemical structure of the enzyme is destroyed and it can no longer work.Thus there is an optimum temperature for the action of the enzyme.
Which temperature scale labels the freezing point of water at 0 degrees?
Centigrade degrees or the "Celsius" scale.
What is the rate of unboiled amylase activity at 35 degrees Celsius?
The rate of unboiled amylase activity at 35 degrees Celsius is typically optimal and active, as this is within the enzyme's normal range of activity. Amylase enzymes are generally most active at around body temperature (37 degrees Celsius), so 35 degrees Celsius would still allow for efficient enzyme function.
What effect does freezing have on pepsin activity?
Heat affect any enzyme and so pepsin. A temperature about 80 degrees can degarade most of the proteins and pepsin. At this temperature pepsin loose its structure and can not be active after that.
Is the temperature at which water boils at the seashore is less or greater than that at a Himalayan peak?
The boiling point of water decreases with altitude, so the temperature at which water boils would be lower at a Himalayan peak compared to the seashore. This is because air pressure decreases with increasing altitude, which affects the boiling point of water.
Does centigrade mean hot or cold?
Centigrade does not inherently mean hot or cold; it is a unit of temperature measurement on the Celsius scale, where 0°C is the freezing point of water and 100°C is the boiling point of water at sea level. The interpretation of whether a specific temperature on the Celsius scale is considered hot or cold is subjective and depends on context.
