What else can I help you with?
How would a high body temperature be fatal to humans?
If your brain overheats, you instantly die.
When does fever get dangerous?
103 It gets dangerous when your body temperature gets too high and denature the enzymes in your body.
Are enzymes permanently inactivated by high temperature extremes or are changes in the enzymes reversible?
Enzymes are permanently inactivated by high temperature extremes. They are denatured.
What happens when an object at a high temperature touches an object at lower temperature?
Heat is conducted form the high temperature body to the low temperature body until their temperatures are the same.
Enzymes have optimal temperatures.most human enzymes have an optimal temperature of about?
The optimal temperature of enzymes in humans is about 37c, the same as the human body's temperature. However, some enzymes work at higher temperatures than 37 but not very high because higher temperatures denatures (destroy) the 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!)
What Enzymes can be denatured by what environmental factor?
Denaturing of enzymes is by high temperature, high pH value, and concentration.
What environmental factor can enzymes be denatured by?
Denaturing of enzymes is by high temperature, high pH value, and concentration.
Why is a high fever dangerous to enzymes?
A high fever can denature enzymes by altering their shape and structure. Enzymes are sensitive to changes in temperature, and a high fever can disrupt the delicate balance needed for enzymes to function properly, leading to decreased enzyme activity and potentially causing harmful effects on various biological processes in the body.
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!
How are enzymes damaged by high temperature?
The body has its own normal temp. And enzymes function along with body temp, you go to high or low it can cause severe damage to the body. Enzymes are proteins, and they are denatured (change in structure) when expose to high temps.
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.
