These can range from optimum high and low temperarures, high to low Ph concenttrations
What else can I help you with?
How pH levels affect enzymes?
It disrupts an enzymes shape and structure.
What the name of a structure that releases enzymes for digestion?
The pancreas is a source of several enzymes
Why enzymes are said to be catalystic?
A catalyst is a substance that alters the equilibrium of a reaction, often at ordinary temperatures and pressure, which is what an enzyme does.Incidentally, they are said to be catalytic.
What is the structure of enzymes in living cells?
Enzymes are typically structured as proteins with a specific three-dimensional shape that enables them to bind to and interact with specific molecules called substrates. This structure is crucial for the enzyme's function, as it determines the enzyme's catalytic activity and specificity. Additionally, enzymes may have co-factors or co-enzymes that are necessary for their activity.
Structure that contains digestive enzymes?
Lysosomes
What type of structure do proteins which act as enzymes possess?
Proteins that act as enzymes typically have a specific three-dimensional structure called an active site. This active site is where the enzyme binds to its target molecule, known as the substrate, to catalyze a chemical reaction. The structure of the active site allows enzymes to be highly specific in their function.
What two things cause enzymes to malfunction?
Enzymes can malfunction due to changes in pH levels, which can alter their active site structure and affect their ability to catalyze reactions. Additionally, excessive heat can denature enzymes by disrupting their tertiary structure, rendering them nonfunctional.
What type of potato can be used for freezing?
Potatoes shouldn't be frozen it destroys their cell structure and negatively alters the quality.
What does boiling do to the enzymes in the liver?
Boiling can denature enzymes in the liver, meaning it can alter their shape and structure. This can render the enzymes inactive or less effective in carrying out their biological functions.
Structure of coenzymes?
Coenzymes has a complex structure. They are a group of co-factors that are tightly or loosely attached to enzymes.
What is the structure that alters the shape of the lens for accommodation?
It automatically adjusts its thickness to focus the light.
What class of organic molecules is damaged by high temperature?
Enzymes are proteins. They are very important because they catalyse metabolic processes in the body that would not be able to occur without them. Their function is dependant upon their shape. If an enzyme is not the correct shape for the molecules it need to bind to then it will not be able to catalyse the process it is involved in. The shapes (quaternery structure) of enzymes are the result of attractive forces between funtional groups within the protein. These attrative forces are quite weak, and high temperatures within the body will break them and the enzymes will lose their shape (they are de-natured). Once the structure is lost it cannot be reformed again, so the process regulated by any enzyme that has denatured no longer function properly.
