What else can I help you with?
If you put an enzyme in an increasing temperature then the enzyme will denature?
yeah above 45degree C, it starts to denature
What hot temperature do to enzyme?
denature
What conditions LEAST likely to denature an enzyme?
low temperatures
What is the effect of hydrochloric acid on the enzyme activity?
Hydrochloric acid can denature enzymes by disrupting their structure and altering their active site. This can impact the enzyme's ability to catalyze chemical reactions effectively, potentially leading to a decrease or loss of enzyme activity.
What happens when enzyme reaches optimal temperature?
When an enzyme reaches its optimal temperature, its catalytic activity is at its maximum. The rate of enzymatic reactions increases, leading to faster conversion of substrates to products. However, if the temperature exceeds the optimal range, the enzyme can denature and lose its function.
What is a change in this can denature a protein?
Temperature, pH, organic solvent, mechanical forces
What is denature in science?
Denature - if it is to do with biology than it is the fact that at high temperatures, An Enzyme`s active site will change in shape, It is now Denatured.
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.
How does heat denature enzymes?
Many things can denature proteins. Proteins have different optimal ranges in pH and temperature and outside of these optima then the enzyme will not work as well or at all. Also specific detergents will denature an enzyme depending on the enzyme.
What determines an enzyme's functions and how many functions does one enzyme have?
An enzyme has only one substrate that it works with so it has only one function. This is called a lock and key mechanism. Other things can affect the enzyme such as temperature, pH level and levels of either the substrate or the products. High temperature can denature the enzyme (they are proteins). They can not fit the lock (substrate).

Why do enzymes lose their function when they are subject to extreme temperature changes?
When an enzyme is exposed to high temperatures, the enzyme will denature or unfold. Therefore, the enzyme will not function properly.
