What affect would temperature and pH have on the Catalans enzyme?

Just like always, deviating from the desired normal functioning for the enzyme, whether it be in temperature or pH, would result in the enzyme denaturing and therefore being unable to for enzyme substrate complexes, therefore reducing the overall reaction rate.

What must be held constant when testing the effect enzyme concentration on enzyme activity?
temperature,pH and substrate concentration
What things might slow down or speed up and enzyme reaction?
The temperature in addition to the pH sacle of something in particular in the environment would affect the rate of speed of an enzyme and would slow down the reaction if it is too high.
What change would not affect the relative rate of action of enzyme x?
increase of temp in 70- 80 degrees
How would increasing the temperature affect the rate of a reaction?
Doubles it
What condition is best for enzyme activity?
enzymes work best at body temperature, that is if the enzmes are human.
What must be held constant when testing the effect enzyme concentration on enzyme activity?
temperature,pH and substrate concentration
Why would a washing powder of high pH or low pH be difficult to handle?
actors such as temperature and pH can affect an enzyme's rate of reaction because enzymes are sensitive to pH and heat. Most enzymes can only function in a particular temperature or pH range, and as the enzyme works out of its normal temperature and pH range, it will denature (change in shape so that the active site no longer fits with the substrate and the enzyme can't function).
Does temperature change the active site of an enzyme?
the deptide would digest slower or not at all.
A control for the effect of a warm temperature would lack what substance?
enzyme
A control for the effect of a warm temperature would lack what factor?
enzyme
Some factors that may influence enzyme activity?
A low temperature can slow down enzyme activity and high temperatures can denature an enzyme making it unusable. pH levels also affect enzyme activity. Every cell has an ideal temperature and pH
What is the effect that lowering the temperature would have on the rate of enzyme activity explain?
It would lower the speed of the reaction but will do no harm to the enzyme.
What would be unlikely to contribute to the substrate specificity of an enzyme?
The allosteric site is distinct from the active site, and does not affect the substrate specificity of the enzyme
What things might slow down or speed up and enzyme reaction?
The temperature in addition to the pH sacle of something in particular in the environment would affect the rate of speed of an enzyme and would slow down the reaction if it is too high.
A change in the rate of enzyme action in aquatic invertebrates would most directly result from a change in what?
temperature of the water
What would be the effect on product formation if the enzyme were heated to a temperature of 100 degrees celsius for 10 minutes before repeating the experiment?
They would be stopped because the enzyme is denatured from the high temperature. High temperature usually speed them up, but after 45 degrees celsius it becomes denatured.
In what way would a defective enzyme affect an organism if it was involved in metabolic reactions that produce ATP?
Non-working enzyme → no ATP → no energy → death.
