What is the optimum temperature for pepsin activity in Celsius?
According to Biologists, the optimum temperature for pepsin ranges from 37 degrees Celsius to 42 degrees Celsius which are perfect human body temperatures.
What affect does temperature have on cellular enzyme activity?
Enzymes generally work within a given temperature range. As the temperature is increased the activity will increase. However if the optimum temperature is surpassed, the enzymes will stop working.
What is the optimum temperature for enzyme activity in the body?
37.5 degree Celsius
Do microbes require proper temperature for optimum growth?
This depends on the type of microbe because they can grow in a wide variety of temperatures
What hormone increases water retention by the kidney tubules when water content decreases from the optimum?
Anti diuretic Hormone. This hormone increases water retention.
What effect would a higher pH have on the temperatures optimum for invertase?
The temperature optimum can be affected by pH if the pH chosen for a particular experiment deviates from the pH optimum for invertase
How are enzymes influenced by temperature increases or decreases?
For temperatures lower than its optimum, enzymes become inactive. This can be undone by bringing them back to optimum temperature. For temperatures higher than their optimum they are denatured and can no longer function even at optimum temperature.
What is the optimum pH of invertase?
50 degrees celsius 50 degrees celsius
How does temperature affects activity?
The enzyme activity increases as the temperature rises due to the substrates colliding with the enzymes' active sites more frequently at higher temperatures. However, each enzyme has an optimum temperature as high temperatures denature enzymes.
What is the optimum temperature for pepsin activity in Celsius?
According to Biologists, the optimum temperature for pepsin ranges from 37 degrees Celsius to 42 degrees Celsius which are perfect human body temperatures.
What is the optimum pH of Chymotrypsin?
pH optimum: 7.8 (pH 6.0: about 35% of maximal activity, pH 9.3: 40% of maximal activity)
What effect on bacteria of temperatures below optimum?
Metabolism slows.
What are the three cardinal temperatures?
minimum, optimum and maximum temp
Would invertase isolated from any two organisms show the same temperature optimum?
Possibly if the two organisms are related (or if horizontal gene transfer was involved), or if the ambient temperature the enzyme works in is similar.
What is a cardinal temperature?
It is the minimum, maximum and optimum temperatures of plant growth and development.
What are the effects temperature and pH level have in the efficacy of digestive enzymes?
As you increase the temperature at first the activity of an enzymes will also increase, so the reaction will go faster. At a certain temperature, called the optimum temperature, the enzyme will work at its maximum rate. Above the optimum temperature the enzyme activity decreases. This is due to the loss of shape by the enzyme molecules, a process called denaturation. In mammals, most enzyme shave an optimum temperature of about 37 oC. Roughly speaking, the rate of an enzyme reaction doubles for each 10 oC rise in temperature, until the optimum temperature is reached. pH affects enzymes in a similar way. At a low pH many enzymes have a low activity. As the pH increases the enzyme activity increases until the optimum pH at which the enzyme has maximum activity. Above this pH enzyme activity decreases. These effects are also dueto denaturation of the enzyme molecules at extreme pH values. Many enzymes work best at around pH 7.0. An important exception is pepsin, a protein-digesting (protease) enzyme in the stomach. This works at low pH values such as those found in the stomach (around pH 2.0), due to the presence of hydrochloric acid.
