Destruction of the structure of an enzyme is called what?
denaturation
Will enzyme activity increase with an increase in temperature?
Warmer temperatures mean little more than that molecules are moving more rapidly. This promotes enzyme activity on its own, however, as movement allows the enzymes to react to more material in a shorter amount of time.
What happens to an enzyme and structure as it exceeds the typical human body temperature?
The enzyme can denature and will not function because it is no longer in the proper shape.
What effect do temperature and pH have on enzyme controlled reactions?
enzyme require an optimum temperature and ph level to be active. temperature at which most enzymes are active is around 35-40 degree celcius. above this temperature the enzyme loses it globular structure and thus the substrate will not be able to bind with it. some enzymes are active in alkali ph while others are active in acidic temperature. but most of the enzymes are active in neutral ph and this helps to maintain its globular structure.
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.
Changes in pH or temperature decrease enzyme activity because bonds break and the enzyme returns to its tertiary structure?
Changes in pH or temperature decrease enzyme activity because bonds b reak and the enzyme returns to it's PRIMARY structure. (not tertiary)
What are the optimum temperature and the optimum pH of an enzyme?
Every enzyme works at its maximum rate at a specific temprature called as optimum temprature for that enzyme. AND all enzymes work at their maximum rate at narrow range of pH, called as optimum pH. A slight increase or decrease in pH causes the retardation in enzyme activity or blocks it completely.
3 factors that influence enzyme activity?
The three main factors that affect enjyme activity are:- a)Temperature:Enzymes generally function properly at a narrow rangr of temperature and shows its highest activity t a particular temperature called its optimum temperature. b)pH:-as temperature pH also has a particular value ,in which the enzymes are most active,called the optimum temperature. c)Concentration of substrate;-with the increase in substrate concentration,the velocity of the enzymatic reaction also increases,till a maximum velocitywhich does not rise any further with the rise in substrate concentration.
What conclusion can be drawn about the action of the enzymes as the temperature increase?
enzyme A becomes less effective earlier than enzyme B enzyme b stays effective at higher temperatures than enzyme a

Warmer temperatures mean little more than that molecules are moving more rapidly. This promotes enzyme activity on its own, however, as movement allows the enzymes to react to more material in a shorter amount of time.
What are the 3 factors that can change the rate of enzyme reaction?
The first factor is Enzyme concentration or subtrate concentration.The rate of enzyme action is directly proportional to to the availability of enzyme provided the substrate concentration unlimited.Or the rate is directly proportional to the substrate concentration if enzymes are limited but if enzyme concentration is kept constant then upto the certain level the increase in substrate amount will no longer increase the rate of enzyme action. Second factor is temperature.The rate if an enzyme action is always directly proportional to the increase in temperature but upto the specific limit called as optimum temperature. Third factor is the pH value.Enzymes can work efficiently over a narrow range of pH called as Optimum pH.A minor change in pH value can denature the enzyme.
What is the overall effect of temperature on enzyme activity?
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.
What is the relationship between an enzyme temperature and the chemical reaction in which the enzyme is invoved?
Rate increase with temperature up to 40 celcius.But it decrease to 60 celcius and stops after.
What happens to an enzyme and structure as it exceeds the typical human body temperature?
The enzyme can denature and will not function because it is no longer in the proper shape.
Why would an enzyme produce more product at one temperature more so then another?
Enzymes do not 'produce' products. They increase the speed of the reactions they work on, for instance we react starch with water to produce maltose, and this is catalysed by amylase. Temperature affects the activity of the enzyme because of two factors:Thermal motion. As the temperature decreases, particles move more slowly and therefore collide less frequently, consequently the reactants and the enzyme encounter each other less often and the reaction is slowed.Denaturing. Above a certain temperature the chemical structure of the enzyme is destroyed and it can no longer work.Thus there is an optimum temperature for the action of the enzyme.
What is the function of an enzyme?
The function of an enzyme is to increase the rate of a reaction.
