he cold is not as intuitive as heat. Heat is the abundance in a system and cold is the absence of energy in a system. Hence athermometer is the an instrument that measures the average kinetic energy of its surroundings. Why do enzymes not work as well in the cold it is because the energy of the system is decreasing causing the molecules to "slow down" there by slowing the diffusion in a system. The enzymes normal substrate is not diffusing a quickly as it would in a heated system, raising the enzymes Km ( affinity for its substrate ).

What else can I help you with?
Enzymes tend to raise the activation energy?
Enzymes lower the activation energy required for a chemical reaction to occur, allowing reactions to happen more efficiently at lower temperatures in biological systems. This reduction in activation energy enables faster reaction rates and promotes metabolic processes in living organisms.
Why don't detergents work well at higher temperatures?
Detergents can become less effective at higher temperatures because the water can cause them to break down or lose their cleaning properties. In addition, certain stains or soils may become more difficult to remove at higher temperatures due to changes in their chemical composition or structure.
Why dont enzymes digest the cell itself?
The reason why a lysosome does not digest itself or the cell is because it has an inner membrane that is coated with glycocalyx. This membrane contains poly-lactosamine which prevents the digestive enzymes from gaining access.
What connection can be made between enzyme activity and temperature?
Temperature can directly affect enzyme activity. Increases in temperature can cause the enzymes to operate at a quicker pace and cause the enzymatic reaction to move along faster, while decreases in temperatures can cause the enzymes to become sluggish and the reaction to slow down. If temperatures are too high, then the enzymes can fall apart, or denature due to the extreme heat, and if temperatures are too low, then the enzymes can slow down to a complete halt in some cases. Either way, the enzymatic reaction will stop. Most enzymes have an optimal temperature under which they can work the most efficiently and effectively.
What is important to all life allowing cells to build structures as well as to speed chemical reactions?
Enzymes play a critical role in allowing cells to build structures and speed up chemical reactions. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the activation energy required for chemical reactions to occur, making them essential for various cellular processes. Without enzymes, many of these reactions would be too slow to sustain life.
Does all enzymes work well on every temperature?
Far from it. Most enzymes only work well in a characteristic, rather narrow range of temperatures.

Why would different enzymes have different temperature ranges with different optimal temperatures?
Well, it depends on where in the body the enzyme is located. however, all enzymes in the human body work within a very narrow temperature scale, they don't all have the exact same optimal temp, but they are close. for instance, enzymes in the scrotum have to be able to work at a temp three degrees or so lower than the average human body temperature.
Why lipase breaks down fat into fatty acid only works well at temperatures close to body temperature?
Because if enzymes are exposed to very high temperature they get damaged and don't work properly but they also need pretty high temperature to work to their maximum quickness. Body temperature is PERFECT!
Is Wood a good heat insulator?
noansw2. Well, for lower temperatures, well removed from the ignition point of wood, it is quite a suitable thermal insulator.
How do you keep an electric frying pan or griddle from burning and smoking?
Clean well and cook at lower temperatures when using grease or butter.
Ice tends to form in shady areas as well as?
in areas with lower temperatures. When the temperature drops below freezing, any moisture present in the air or on a surface can freeze into ice. Shady areas may have lower temperatures due to reduced exposure to sunlight, which can contribute to ice formation.
Describe and explain how pH and temperature affect enzyme activity?
Enzymes are temperature bound too high temperature denatures their cells while too low temperatures renders them inactive. The same mechanism applies to pH there are those enzymes that thrive well in acidic conditions while there are those that thrive in basic condition and therefore if the conditions are reversed the enzymes' cells are denatured.

The reason why a lysosome does not digest itself or the cell is because it has an inner membrane that is coated with glycocalyx. This membrane contains poly-lactosamine which prevents the digestive enzymes from gaining access.
When can refrigeration not applicable to preserve sample for enzymatic assay?
Refrigeration is not applicable to preserve sample for enzymatic assay because enzymes may lose their activity at extremely low temperatures as well. This may account for storing enzymes at 5° C or below without affecting the enzymatic activity permanently. (Anubhav, 2012)
What is the temperature of mountain biomes?
well i dont know the exact temperature but i do no that grassy mountains (toward the bottom) the temperature is the same as the atmosphere but toward the top it snows and the temperature may vary
