Heat would make most enzymes unnecessary as added heat would allow (many) reaction to achieve activation energy without the need of a helping enzyme. In a biological system most enzymes are proteins and as heat denatures proteins the effect would be to destroy their functionality.

What factors affect the rate of enzyme activity?
Factors that affect the rate of enzyme activity include temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration. Temperature and pH can alter the shape of the enzyme, affecting its ability to bind to the substrate. Changes in substrate and enzyme concentration can affect the frequency of enzyme-substrate collisions, which impacts the rate of reaction.
What is the effect of heat on enzymes?
Heat can denature enzymes, causing them to lose their shape and therefore their function. At low temperatures, heat can increase the rate of enzyme activity, but at high temperatures, enzymes can become inactive due to the disruption of their protein structure.
What does the wrong pH do to the shape of an enzyme?
A wrong pH can affect the shape of an enzyme by disrupting the interactions between the enzyme's amino acid residues, leading to a change in the enzyme's conformation. This can affect the enzyme's active site, making it less effective at catalyzing reactions.
What are all of the factors that affect enzyme activity except for temperature and pH?
There are a number of factors that can influence how efficiently a certain enzyme can catalyse a reaction: the amount of substrate present, whether there are chemicals present that inhibit enzymes by either binding to their active site or cofactor site, the amount of enzymes present...
What factors affect the activity of enzymes?
Enzymes work best in the pH and temperature that they are " designed " for. A pepsin enzyme works best in the low pH environment of the stomach, while amylase works best at mouth temperature and ~ 7 pH. Heat and out of range pH can denature enzymes and not only affect their activity but inactivate them.
What happens to an enzyme-substrate reaction when the enzyme has been subjected to heat or high-low pH?
When an enzyme is subjected to heat or extreme pH levels, it can denature, losing its specific shape and functionality. This can affect the enzyme's ability to bind to the substrate and catalyze the reaction efficiently. In extreme cases, the enzyme may become permanently inactivated.
What factors affect the rate of enzyme activity?
Factors that affect the rate of enzyme activity include temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration. Temperature and pH can alter the shape of the enzyme, affecting its ability to bind to the substrate. Changes in substrate and enzyme concentration can affect the frequency of enzyme-substrate collisions, which impacts the rate of reaction.
Does heat affect the efficiency of catalase?
Yes, heat can affect the efficiency of catalase. At low temperatures, catalase activity may be slower due to slower enzyme-substrate collisions. At high temperatures, the enzyme may denature, leading to a loss of catalytic activity. The optimum temperature for most catalase enzymes is around 37°C.
What is the effect of excess heat or temperature on an enzyme-?
With a lot of heat, the enzyme will be denatured meaning it will lose its shape and therefore its function.
What are 3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalyzed reaction?
3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalysed reaction are: .Temperature .Enzyme Concentartion .Substrate concentration
How does increasing enzyme concentration affect the rate of enzyme action when the enzyme concentration remains constant?
It doesn't
What is the effect of excess heat or temperature on enzyme?
Each enzyme has its ideal temperature
What things can you do to an enzyme to denature it?
heat it
What can affect a biological function?
enzyme
Would lowering the pH of the enzyme solution affect the enzyme?
Yes, lowering the pH of the enzyme solution can affect the enzyme's activity. Enzymes have an optimal pH at which they function best, so altering the pH can disrupt the enzyme's structure and function, potentially leading to decreased activity or denaturation.
Why does pH affect enzyme action?
yeh it can
What factor does not affect enzyme function?
