What is effect of temperature on an enzyme?
Many of the enzymes in our bodies work best at body temperature. At significantly lower temperatures the substrate molecules do not have enough kinetic energy for the reaction to take place even in the presence of the enzyme. At body temperatures significantly higher than normal, the enzyme will not work well because the kinetic energy from the molecules in the solution containing the enzyme is so high, that the enzyme's shape is pulled apart to the point that the enzyme is not able to properly function.Indeed the enzyme's structure may be so disrupted or denatured that the enzyme molecule cannot return to its original shape. Indeed the danger of high fevers stems in large part from the potential damage to enzymes and other proteins from the high temperature. The optimum performance of most human enzymes is at about 37o celcius, or the temperature of the human body. Exposing enzymes to elevated temperatures can cause them to denature, which basically means they will no longer be functional. Enzymes are more active at a specific temperature. At higher temperatures they get denatured, so their structure breaks down. Same effect as pH. At lower temperatures they become inactive, in this case when they reach their optimum temperatures, they will become active again.temperature directly affects the rate of enzyme activity.On every 10 degree Centigrade rise in temperature,rate of enzyme activity doubles.but temperature affects up to its optimum range.For example:optimum temperature range of human is 37 degree centigrade.beyond this level of temperature,it can destroy the enzyme's structure and enzyme can be denatured due to fast vibration among its molecules which can lead to the bonds to break
Which of the nucleotides occurs in DNA molecules but not in RNA molecules?
Thymine
Which of the following occurs as an enzyme produced by a cell is secreted from the cell?
Exocytosis
What occurs when water molecules diffuse through a membrane?
osmosis
Occurs when water molecules diffuse through a membrane?
Osmosis
The active site of an enzyme is the location of substrate attachment?
The active site of an enzyme is a small port where substrate molecules fit. When an enzyme binds with a substrate, a chemical reaction occurs.
What type of reaction does a dental material undergo when distortion occurs?
Restorative and esthetic dental reaction occurs when a dental material undergoes distortion.
What is Attenuation distortion in networking?
Attenuation distortion is the distortion of an analog signal that occurs during transmission when the transmission medium does not have a flat frequency response across the bandwidth of the medium.
How does an enzyme change how a reaction occurs?
An enzyme speeds up your reaction in your body.
What type of distortion always occurs on an analog connection?
White Noise

What is catalyzed by enzymes?
reactions in which enzymes are involved as catalysts.
Which type of distortion occurs when a connection cable is inadequately insulated?
Impulse noise
What is the helicase enzyme?
Unwinds the DNA during DNA replication and Trancription
Which occurs if two object at different temperatures are in contact?
conduction occurs...
Which of the nucleotides occurs in DNA molecules but not in RNA molecules?
Thymine
Can diffusion take place in solids liquids gases or all three substances?
Diffusion occurs with all molecules, but for many solids, it is an extraordinarily slow process at normal temperatures. Solids in contact with other solids may exchange a few molecules per second, and some may "jump back" again. The diffusion speed can be increased by raising the substances to high temperatures, giving the exterior molecules greater energy.
