Virtually all the chemical processes of the body involve enzymes; it is very unlikely that anyone would be low on all of them (short of actually being dead). A diabetic may be low on the enzyme insulin. A person with lactose intolerance (such as myself) is low on the enzyme lactase. And so forth.

Where do digestive enzymes originate from in the body?

Digestive enzymes originate from various glands in the body, such as the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. These enzymes help break down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.


At what temperature do plant enzymes work best?

Enzymes work best at temperatures around body temperature. If the temperature is too low, there is too little kinetic energy available for it, but if it is too high, the enzyme will be denatured, and will therefore also work slower.

What happens to enzymes at low pH levels?

At low pH levels, enzymes can become denatured, meaning their structure and function can be disrupted. This can lead to a decrease in enzyme activity and effectiveness.


At what temperature do human enzymes work best at?

Enzymes in the human body work best at human body temperature, so about 35-40 degrees (Celsius). A lower temperature would have too low of an effect to be able to sustain life, and a higher temperature causes the enzyme to denature (unravel) and be rendered ineffective.


Are Enzymes are able to work at any temperature?

Enzymes have an optimal temperature at which they work best, usually around body temperature for human enzymes. Extreme temperatures can denature the enzyme, causing it to lose its shape and function. Some enzymes from extremophiles are adapted to work at very high or low temperatures.

If your body temperature is low how will the enzymes work?

Enzymes require certain temperatures to function. They become denatured if the temperature is too high or too low. If an enzyme is denatured, it can no longer function. Therefore, if your body temperature is too low, the enzymes will become denatured and cease to function. The process of denaturation is on a continuum, however. If the temperature is slightly lower than normal, but not too low, the enzymes will still function, but at a lower rate.

In the human body hydrochloric acid is responsible for the low pH of the contents of?

In the human body, hydrochloric acid is responsible for the low pH of the contents of the stomach. This low pH helps to break down food particles, kill bacteria, and activate enzymes that are important for digestion.


How does too little of calcium affect your body?

Calcium is one of macro elements that mean it needed by high amount per day. When the ca be low in the blood it affects many functions in the body it lead to weakness of bone and teeth, can leads to tetany, affects some enzymes


Why humans have a defined body temperature?

So the enzymes function properly, temperature too low = inefficient working due to not enough kinetic energy, temperature too high means the enzymes will denature (die!)


Are all catalists enzymes?

No,enzymes are only found in the body.. Enzymes are biological catalysts.
