What is the effect of temperature on salivary amalyse activity?

Answer 1

Every enzyme has a temperature range of optimum activity. Outside that temperature range the enzyme is rendered inactive and is said to be totally inhibited. This occurs because as the temperature changes this supplies enough energy to break some of the intramolecular attractions between polar groups (Hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole attractions) as well as the Hydrophobic forces between non-polar groups within the protein structure. When these forces are disturbed and changed, this causes a change in the secondary and tertiary levels of protein structure, and the active site is altered in its conformation beyond its ability to accomodate the substrate molecules it was intended to catalyze. Most enzymes (and there are hundreds within the human organism) within the human cells will shut down at a body temperature below a certain value which varies according to each individual. This can happen if body temperature gets too low (hypothermia) or too high (hyperthermia).

Answer 2

the molecular structure of salivary amylase is globular and when every heat is added to anything energy is produce and the more energy the fast molecules move and when the temperature is hot enough the molecular bonds begin to break apart from one another.

Answer 3

As temperature increases, salivary amylase will be able to achieve optimal performance in breaking down starch into maltase. However, the performance will drop past a certain point of temperature increase.

Answer 4

It affects salivary amylase as much as it does any other enzymes. If it fluctuates away from its optimal level (around 7~7.4) then it will denature.

Answer 5

The best temperature for salivary amylase is around 37 centi degree. An enzyme's optimum temperature is usually close to the normal temperature of organism it comes from.

Answer 6

the effect of temperature is that it changes the colour of salivary amylase. Your welcom e st.pauls students

Answer 7

Temperature has a great impact on how salivary amylase responds. The warmer the temperatures the better the salivary amylase works.

Answer 8

The higher the temperature, the faster the reaction but less activity will be conducted if the temperature is low or very high (denatured) and has no use.

Answer 9

yes, it does
