Each enzyme has its' own "perfect" temperature. This varies with the enzyme, the substrate and the environment. In most cases, increasing the temperature above the normal will increase the rate up to a point. Lowering the temperature will slow it down.

At what temperature do human enzymes work best at?

Enzymes in the human body work best at human body temperature, so about 35-40 degrees (Celsius). A lower temperature would have too low of an effect to be able to sustain life, and a higher temperature causes the enzyme to denature (unravel) and be rendered ineffective.


Are enzymes permanently inactivated by high temperature extremes or are changes in the enzymes reversible?

Enzymes are permanently inactivated by high temperature extremes. They are denatured.


Why is temperature a factor of cellular respiration?

Temperature can effect enzymatic action of all cellular activities to a great degree. Typically increasing the temperature will stimulate enzymes while decreasing it will hinder their activity. If the temperature is too high the protein enzymes will denture and become useless. If the temperature is too low the activation energy required to initiate enzyme action will not be able to be overcome and the enzymes will be rendered inoperable.

How does temperature affect the rate of fermentation?

Alcoholic fermentation involves the actions of enzymes. Enzymes function properly within their optimal temperature range. An increase or decrease in temperature can denature the enzymes, causing them not to function.


Enzymes have optimal temperatures.most human enzymes have an optimal temperature of about?

The optimal temperature of enzymes in humans is about 37c, the same as the human body's temperature. However, some enzymes work at higher temperatures than 37 but not very high because higher temperatures denatures (destroy) the enzymes.

Which of the following variables has the least direct effect on the rate of a hydrolytic reaction regulated by enzymes?

Temperature has the least direct effect on the rate of a hydrolytic reaction regulated by enzymes. Other factors like substrate concentration, enzyme concentration, and pH have a more direct impact on the rate of hydrolysis.
