What effect would temperatures greater than 55 degrees Celsius have on enzymes?

It would depend on the situation. Some organisms live at very high temperatures and this would not make any difference. In humans, it would cause the enzyme to denature. It would cook them.

What is the state of water at 257 degree celsius temperature?
Water becomes a gas at 100 degrees celsius at sea level. Under normal conditions, it can not get any hotter. When the pressure is increased, however, the temperature at which water boils increases. So gaseous water (steam) at 257 degrees celsius, under pressure, would be considered "superheated steam."
Which is hotter 92 degrees Fahrenheit or 92 degrees celsius?
C = 5/9 (F - 32) = 5/9 (92 - 32) = 5/9 (60) = 33 and 1/3 degrees C.
What is the temperatures when liquids freeze?
The temperature varies from one liquid to another. Every element has a different freezing point and boiling point. You can calculate both for a molecule by using a formula that takes into consideration the different elements that make up the molecule in comparision to percentage that element is of the total mass of the molecule
Why does the entropy of water increase as it warms from 0 degrees to 4 degrees?
Heat (in water) is random molecular motion, so greater heat equals greater disorder, hence more entropy.
Why is water not alkaline at 60 degrees celsius when the OH value in water at 60 degrees is greater that the value at room temperature-PLEASE help ASAP?
A solution is acidic if there is an excess of hydrogen ions over hydroxide ions. In the case of pure water, there are always the same number of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. That means that the water remains neutral - even if its pH changes.
What happens when matter is heated to extreme temperatures greater than 10000 degree Celsius?
when matter is heated to 10,000 degrees celsius it becomes plasma.
Which is greater an increase of 5 degrees Fahrenheit or an increase of 5 degrees celsius?
The increase of 5 Celsius degrees is a greater increase.Celsius degrees are 1.8 times the size of Fahrenheit degrees.
Why mammalian enzymes have optimum temperatures of approximately 40oC whereas plant enzymes have optimum temperatures of 25oC?
Human body temp is constantly maintained at 37 degrees so our enzymes have evolved to work best at this 'warm' temperature . We like nearly all other mammals are warm blooded. Plants do not have to keep their temperature constant and generally exist in colder conditions and can tolerate far greater deviations in temperature hence their enzymes tend to work best at lower temperatures.
What is greater 150 degree Fahrenheit and 100 degrees Celsius?
100 degrees Celsius.
Is the temp of steam at 100 degrees celsius same as 100 degrees celsius water?
Leaving aside the effects of pressure, yes, the temperatures are the same. But the amount of heat (thermal energy) per gram, is much greater for the steam.
Which is greater 3 celsius or 30 Fahrenheit?
3 degrees Celsius is warmer than 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Which has a greater difference in temperature Celsius degree or Fahrenheit degree?
Celsius degrees are larger than Fahrenheit degrees.
Would thermal energy be greater at 0 degrees Celsius or 48 degrees Fahrenheit?
It would be greater at 48 degrees Fahrenheit.
Which one is greater -11 degrees Celsius or -30 degrees celsius?
19
Is 32 degrees Fahrenheit less greater or the same as 0 degrees celsius?
The same.
Which is greater 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 32 degrees Celsius?
32 C is hotter.
Is 125 degrees celsius greater than 212 degrees Fahrenheit?
yes
