Thermophilic enzymes are stable (they grow and thrive) at temperatures between 60-80 degrees Celsius. This makes them easier to study. This is because mesophilic enzymes will denature at these temperatures, and unlike mesophilic enzymes, thermophilic enzymes will not denature at room temp (25 degrees Celsius, making it easier for scientist to work with thermophilic enzymes. In other words, in biotechnology thermoenzymes have thermo stablity that mesophilic enzymes do not, making them much better use under certain conditions ( where mesophilic enzymes would denature).

What is microbes and what is thermophilic and mesophilic microbes?

Microbes are organisms that are composed of only one solitary cell or a cell which lives in a colony with other cells. Thermophilic microbes are organisms that prefer to live in areas with a temperature that is higher than the normal.Mesophilic are these microbes that prefer areas with moderate temperature.

Would happen if cells had no enzymes?

Enzymes are protein in cells that lower the energy of a reaction. Without enzymes, reactions would need more energy than the body can make. This would cause death of the cells.


How might enzymes be important to activities other than digestion?

Enzymes catalyze (speed up) almost every reaction that happens within the body.


Why do we use enzymes more than one time?

Enzymes are catalysts and as such play no direct part in a chemical reaction. Enzymes provide active sites for chemical reactions to take place on. They are specific and work best in a narrow band of optimal conditions.Catalysts of all sorts have 2 major advantages of a chemical reaction without them:they speed up the chemical reaction dramaticallythey are reusableAs they are not used up in the reaction new enzymes do not need to be constantly produced which reduces the pressure on resources in the body. It would be wasteful to have to constantly make new enzymes. Similarly in industry it makes economic sense to use catalysts because they can be used over and over.


What are high tech enzymes?

High tech enzymes are enzymes that have been genetically engineered or modified using biotechnology to improve their properties or functions. These enzymes are designed to be more efficient, specific, and stable than naturally occurring enzymes, making them valuable for a wide range of industrial applications such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and biofuels production.
