Different enzymes are most efficient at different temperatures, these are called 'the optimum temperature'. A temperature far lower than this will cause the rate of reaction to slow until barely noticable. A temperatuere far higher than this will cause the shape of the enzyme to change and the enzyme will become denatured.

What promotes enzymatic action?

Does enzymatic action in a chemical reaction result in an increase in temperature?

Yes it can, but more commonly an increase in temperature increases enzymatic action.


What temperature promotes enzymatic action?

Enzymatic activity is typically highest at an optimal temperature, which varies depending on the enzyme. For most enzymes in the human body, the optimal temperature is around 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit). However, extreme temperatures (too high or too low) can denature enzymes, leading to a loss of activity.


Enzymatic reactions can be controlled by?

Enzymatic reactions can be controlled by factors such as temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and the presence of inhibitors or activators. Controlling these factors can affect the rate at which enzymes catalyze reactions, leading to regulation of biological processes.


Does temperatures influence enzymatic browning?

Temperature does affect enzymatic function - temperature affects the "active site" of the enzyme and so the substrate cannot bind to it anymore (process is called denaturation)


How can heat prevent microbes from growing?

If it's hot enough, then various proteins are denatured (broken down) - even before then the efficiency of the enzymatic action of proteins is often temperature dependent.

What is type of feedback in which a given action promotes more of the same?

The type of feedback that promotes more of the same action is positive feedback. It occurs when the result or outcome of an action increases the likelihood of that action being repeated or continued. Positive feedback reinforces and encourages the behavior or action that produced it.
