Cooling: When an enzyme is cooled, the activity is only slowed down.
Heating: If an enzyme is overheated, it is known as a denatured enzyme. It changes shape to due the break down of it, and will no longer be able to bond with the substrate.

Cooling generally slows down enzyme activity by decreasing the kinetic energy of the enzyme molecules, limiting their ability to collide with substrate molecules and facilitating the formation of enzyme-substrate complexes. Heating, on the other hand, initially increases enzyme activity by providing more kinetic energy for enzyme-substrate collisions and enhancing the rate of reaction. However, excessive heat can denature enzymes, causing them to lose their shape and function, ultimately decreasing enzyme activity.

How you can demonstrate that INT reduction is due to an enzyme catalysed process?
By heating the homogenate. proteins are innactivated by heat and enzyme activity is lost
What switchs on enzyme activity while what can switch off or reduce enzyme activity?
activators; inhibitors
What can change the way an enzyme acts?
Enzyme activity is affected by other molecules, temperature, chemical environment (e.g., pH), and the concentration of substrate and enzyme. Activators are molecules that encourage enzyme activity, and inhibitors are enzymes that decrease enzyme activity. Sometimes a cofactor is necessary for the enzyme to work.
What accurately describes how temperature affects enzyme activity?
Enzyme activity increases with temperature, but only up to a point.
What determine an enzymes activity?
There are several things that determine an enzyme's activity. The main determinants include the structure of the enzyme, temperature, pH and so much more.

Can heatpump switch from heating to cooling and from cooling to heating automatically?
You have to manually select the heating, and cooling mode located on your thermostat.
What can you do to regain the activity of the enzyme?
The enzyme is inactive at this point. New enzyme must be added to regain enzyme activity
What is the effect of hydrochloric acid on the enzyme activity?
Denature enzyme activity
Can I separate my heating and cooling system, or do I call a professional?
Consultation of a licensed heating/cooling contractor is advisable when considering separating the heating and cooling units. The Guide to Heating and Air Conditioning is an excellent resource for information on heating/cooling repair work.
What are the effects of physical activity on enzyme activity?
Physical activity can alter the shape of enzyme which can cause damage or may the enzyme become inactive
Where can you find facts about heating and cooling?
type in google/bing heating and cooling facts.
Did heating have any effect on the activity of amylase?
beta amylase work well at 63-65ºC and alpha amylase work well at 71-73ºC above activity drops and enzyme denaturated.
How has technology changed people's homes?
yes for example heating and cooling and stoves
What are the effects of freezing on enzyme activity?
When an enzyme is frozen, it only slows down activity. Unlike boiling an enzyme, it does not stop it from working.
What switchs on enzyme activity while what can switch off or reduce enzyme activity?
activators; inhibitors
Can Geothermal pumps can be used for heating or cooling?
cooling
