No, enzymes will break down at temperatures above 53o C. They are part of normal human Biology, which normally takes place at a temperature of about 40o C.

Can cell repiration occur in organism at a temp above 65 deg centigrade - give reason?

The rate of any reaction depends on the active masses of the reactants, the pH and the temperature. This applies to the biological reactions involving enzymes like cellular respiration The enzymes in general get more and more active as the temperature increases. This would be true till the temperature reaches up to 45 degree Celsius (in general for humans). Above which some enzymes denature and their activity completely drops off. This temperature is variable and is dependent on the enzyme. (A few enzymes are active even at high temperatures). But at 65 degree Celsius most of the intracellular enzymes are denatured. So as the temperature increases, the cellular respiration increases up to a certain point and then there is a sharp decline so at or after 65 degree Celsius cellular respiration is virtually impossible.


Can cell respiration occur in organism at a temp above t65 deg c - give reason?

no,cell reapiration is not possible at such a high temperature because 1) at such high temperature the cell get damaged and they start to die. 2) at such high temperatures the become fuctionless.


How hot is mount vesuvius?

Currently the temperature on Mount Vesuvius is no different from that of an ordinary mountain. Temperatures at certain spots may approach 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit during an eruption, but the last eruption at Mount Vesuvius was in 1944.


Molecular biology activity stops at what temptaure?

Molecular biology activity typically stops at temperatures above 60-65 degrees Celsius, as this can denature proteins and disrupt the structure and function of enzymes involved in molecular processes.


What is the optimum temperature for enzymes in most locations of the human body?

Some enzyme function only in specific conditions, they are activated only in suitable environment. some work only in neutral environment. all ptyalin in saliva works only in the mouth which has a pH of 6-8 but when food is in the stomach wherein it's acidic, ptyalin action stops. enzymes don't function below with freezing point destroyed by too much heat. each organs has a specific temp called optimum temperature. in the human beings, enzymes can't function unless certain vitamins are present/ the right amount of vitamins will give maximum use of vitamins as well as enzymes.

Enzymes are usually inactivated at what temperature?

The optimal range for the enzymatic activity goes from 25oC to 32oC.


Why enzymes activity slows down and eventually stops above 35 degree C and below 0 degree C explain why?

the normal working speed of human enzymes is 37 degrees c.If enzymatic activity below the 37 degrees c it works slow and if enzymatic activity is above the 37 degrees c its works very high.

At what temperature do bats come out?

Bats typically come out at night when temperatures are cooler, usually around dusk when it starts to get dark. They are most active when the temperature is above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.


What is the advantage of washing clothes at such low temperatures?

Washing clothes at low temperatures, such as 30°C or below, helps to save energy and reduce your electricity bill. It can also extend the lifespan of your clothes by preventing shrinkage and color fading that can occur with higher temperatures. Additionally, washing at lower temperatures is more environmentally friendly as it reduces carbon emissions associated with heating water.

Is it possible to boil water in negative temperatures?

No, it is not possible to boil water in negative temperatures because boiling occurs at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit, which is above freezing temperatures.


Why is the optimum temperature for many enzymes controlled reactions about 40 degrees of centigrade?

The optimum temperature for many enzymes is around 40 degrees Celsius because that is the temperature at which the enzyme's activity is highest. At this temperature, the enzyme's structure is optimal for binding to substrates and catalyzing reactions efficiently. Temperatures above or below this optimum can cause denaturation of the enzyme, leading to a loss of activity.
