What else can I help you with?
Enzymes that can function at boiling water temperatures or other harsh conditions would be termed?
Extremoenzymes
Why does boiling the enzymes reduce the enzymes catalytic effectiveness?
destroy if by which you mean denatures then yes boiling will do that, because the enzyme's form / shape has been change and that changes its function
Why boiling affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis requires many enzymes to function. An example of one of these enzymes is rubisco, which is involved in carbon fixation to RuBP. All enzymes have a specific range of variables in which they perform optimally, like pH ranges or in this case temperature. At a boiling point temperature, it is likely photosynthesis will be nonexistent or at minimal levels. This is because at such a high temperature the enzymes can become denatured, and fail to perform. This of course is not true for all types of photosynthesis, as there are some bacteria that are able to perform photosynthesis at extreme temperatures.
Do some bacteria surround themselves with a tough resistant wall and become spores that can survive dryness and low temperatures but die in boiling water?
Yes, some bacteria can form spores when conditions are unfavorable for growth, such as dryness or low temperatures. These spores have a tough resistant wall that protects them from harsh conditions but they can be killed by boiling water due to the high temperature denaturing their essential proteins and enzymes.
What effect does boiling have on enzyme digestion?
Many proteins coagulate at temperatures above 70°C (A boiled egg is an obvious example).
What does boiling do to the enzymes in the liver?
Boiling can denature enzymes in the liver, meaning it can alter their shape and structure. This can render the enzymes inactive or less effective in carrying out their biological functions.
Which enzyme is likely to be found in an organism that lives in the boiling waters of a deep sea thermal vent?
Thermophilic organisms living in boiling waters of deep sea thermal vents are likely to produce heat-stable enzymes such as thermophilic polymerases like Taq polymerase. These enzymes are adapted to function optimally at high temperatures, making them well-suited for extreme environments like thermal vents.
Would an enzyme from one of your body cells be able to function in a place as hot as a hot spring?
Most likely an enzyme from one of your body cells would NOT be able to function in a place as hot as a hot spring because the enzyme would get denatured. denaturization can occur when enzymes are put to extreme temperatures. Since the enzyme is used to your body temp. it is a huge increase to put the enzyme in almost boiling water.
Do enzymes contiune to function after being frozen or boiled?
I am not sure if they work after being frozen sorry. But, once enzymes reach a certain high temperature they will denature causing them to become inactive. This process is irreversible. So therefore after boiling an enzyme it will no longer function.
What effect does boiling have on enzymic activity?
Boiling usually destroys enzymes.
What effect does boiling the material have on peroxidase activity?
Boiling typically denatures peroxidase enzymes, leading to a loss of activity. The high temperatures disrupt the enzyme's structure, preventing it from functioning properly as a catalyst for peroxidase reactions.
Why are the temperatures of the melting point of ice boiling point of water called fixed point in calibrating the thermometer?
The temperatures of the melting point of ice and boiling point of water are called fixed points because they have well-defined and reproducible temperatures under standard atmospheric conditions. These fixed points provide reference temperatures that are used to calibrate thermometers and ensure accurate temperature measurements.
