At 0°C enzyme action is low because the movement of molecules is low. This causes the collision frequency between enzyme and substrate to be low. Increasing the temperature speed up the movement of molecules and thus the collision frequency increases therefore enzyme action increases. Human bio enzymes work best at 37 degrees Celsius. As the temperature raises the shape of the enzyme changes and the enzyme becomes denatured. Temperature above 50 degrees Celsius will denature most human enzymes.

What are most enzymes about at 0 degrees celcus?

Most enzymes are inactive at 0 degrees Celsius because low temperatures decrease molecular motion and slow down enzyme activity, resulting in reduced reaction rates.


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.


Why enzymes activity slows down and eventually stops above 35 degree C and below 0 degree C explain why?

the normal working speed of human enzymes is 37 degrees c.If enzymatic activity below the 37 degrees c it works slow and if enzymatic activity is above the 37 degrees c its works very high.


What happens when you heat milk at about 66 degrees to kill most of the bacteria?

When milk is heated to 66 degrees to kill most of the bacteria, the primary thing which happens is its chemical composition is slightly altered. This also kills natural enzymes within the milk.


Why is it important that cells maintain homeostasis in order for enzymes to work properly?

Homeostasis is important for our system to be functional!, for example our body maintains 37 degree Celsius inside. So cellular enzymes require the same temperature to carry out biological reactions, if it drops to 30 degrees and we don't have homeostasis to bring back 37 degrees, then most of the enzymes that need 37 degrees would be poorly active.

What happens to temperature above 0 degrees?

As temperature rises above 0 degrees Celsius, water transitions from a solid (ice) to a liquid state. This process is called melting.


What happens to water at 0 degrees centigrade?

At 0 degrees Celsius, water freezes and turns into ice. This is the temperature at which water changes from a liquid to a solid state.

What process happens at 0 degrees Celsius?

At 0 degrees Celsius, water freezes and turns into ice. This process involves the molecules in water slowing down and forming a solid crystal lattice structure.


What happens at 0 degrees Celsius?

What happens at 0 degrees k?

0 degrees Kelvin is called absolute zero. It is when particles stop moving completely. I'm fairly certain that scientists still have yet to achieve this.
