he cold is not as intuitive as heat. Heat is the abundance in a system and cold is the absence of energy in a system. Hence athermometer is the an instrument that measures the average kinetic energy of its surroundings. Why do enzymes not work as well in the cold it is because the energy of the system is decreasing causing the molecules to "slow down" there by slowing the diffusion in a system. The enzymes normal substrate is not diffusing a quickly as it would in a heated system, raising the enzymes Km ( affinity for its substrate ).

Enzymes are often inactive at low temperatures due to the fact that there is not much energy to allow the enzymes to move around so that the substrate/enzyme can bind.
Enzymes are unchanged at the end of a reaction (unlike Catalysts which are changed), and as each enzyme can be reused many times, they are so effective at low concentrations
Because enzymes denature/change shape at high temperatures and detergents contain enzymes.
Enzymes lower the amount of activation energy required. This makes the reaction more likely to occur and speeds it up as well.
The reason why a lysosome does not digest itself or the cell is because it has an inner membrane that is coated with glycocalyx. This membrane contains poly-lactosamine which prevents the digestive enzymes from gaining access.
Temperature can directly affect enzyme activity. Increases in temperature can cause the enzymes to operate at a quicker pace and cause the enzymatic reaction to move along faster, while decreases in temperatures can cause the enzymes to become sluggish and the reaction to slow down. If temperatures are too high, then the enzymes can fall apart, or denature due to the extreme heat, and if temperatures are too low, then the enzymes can slow down to a complete halt in some cases. Either way, the enzymatic reaction will stop. Most enzymes have an optimal temperature under which they can work the most efficiently and effectively.
well i dont know well i dont know well i dont know well i dont know well i dont know

Far from it. Most enzymes only work well in a characteristic, rather narrow range of 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.
noansw2. Well, for lower temperatures, well removed from the ignition point of wood, it is quite a suitable thermal insulator.
Clean well and cook at lower temperatures when using grease or butter.

Enzymes are temperature bound too high temperature denatures their cells while too low temperatures renders them inactive. The same mechanism applies to pH there are those enzymes that thrive well in acidic conditions while there are those that thrive in basic condition and therefore if the conditions are reversed the enzymes' cells are denatured.
Refrigeration is not applicable to preserve sample for enzymatic assay because enzymes may lose their activity at extremely low temperatures as well. This may account for storing enzymes at 5° C or below without affecting the enzymatic activity permanently. (Anubhav, 2012)
