Different enymes can function at different temperatures but most of them would function optimally more or less around the body temperature range.

If all enzymes are proteins but all proteins are not enzymes then what makes enzymes different fr?

Enzymes are proteins, but as you can imagine, different parts of the body need different types of enzymes to work efficiently. Can you imagine the enzymes which break down food in the process of digestion being replaced by the enzymes which assist respiration or photosynthesis? It wouldn't work. Each type of enzyme controls different chemical processes.

Experiment the effect of teperature on the souring of milk?

warmer temperatures will cause the milk to sour faster because the enzymes that cause the protein breakdown into amino acids (hence the sourness) have an optimum temperature at which they work and this is usually just above body temperature. That is why milk is stored in the fridge.


By what mechanism do enzymes work?

Enzymes work in a variety of different ways. When a molecule of a correct chemical comes along it will fit exactly into the shape. This is called the active site of the enzyme because this is where the reaction takes place.


What is meant by the enzyme specificity?

Enzymes work on one substrate specifically. This is why there is millions of different types of enzymes to interact with all the molecules they need to metabolically and chemically react with.

Why would different enzymes have different temperature ranges with different optimal temperatures?

Well, it depends on where in the body the enzyme is located. however, all enzymes in the human body work within a very narrow temperature scale, they don't all have the exact same optimal temp, but they are close. for instance, enzymes in the scrotum have to be able to work at a temp three degrees or so lower than the average human body temperature.


Enzymes work most effectively at?

Enzymes work most effectively when they are at their optimal temperature and pH.


Does digestive enzymes will still function in the small intestin?

The small intestine is the site of work of some digestive enzymes that are secreted there. It is not an ideal site for the continued work of enzymes from the stomach, as the pH is not hospitable for the work of those gastric enzymes.


Do enzymes work better on larger foods or smaller foods?

Enzymes do not necessarily work better on smaller or larger foods. Enzymes work better when food is broken up or chewed and the enzymes are allowed to circulate freely around the food.


Do humans have any enzymes in bodies?

Yes, humans have a wide range of enzymes in their bodies. Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze biochemical reactions, helping to regulate various processes like digestion, metabolism, and cellular function. Some examples of enzymes found in humans include amylase for breaking down carbohydrates, lipase for digesting fats, and DNA polymerase for replicating DNA.


When do enzymes work best in biological processes?

Enzymes work best in biological processes when they are at their optimal temperature and pH levels.
