Heat will increase the rate of any chemical reaction. This is because a chemical reaction require three things: The molecules to collide, collide with enough energy, and collide in the correct orientation. With increased heat you increase the number of collision and the energy with which molecules collide. For non-organic enzymatic reactions(ex platinum catalyzes several hydrogen reaction) heat will speed up the reaction. For organic reactions heat will only increase the rate up to a point. If the temperature gets too hot it begins to denature the enzyme and the enzyme will no longer work.

How does temperature change the affect of peroxidase enzymes?

Temperature can affect peroxidase enzymes by influencing their activity level. Generally, increasing temperature can initially enhance enzyme activity up to a point, called the optimal temperature. Beyond the optimal temperature, the enzyme may denature and lose its functionality.

What environment factors can affect the activity of an enzyme?

Factors such as temperature, pH levels, substrate concentration, and the presence of inhibitors or activators can affect the activity of an enzyme. Changes in these environmental conditions can alter the enzyme's structure, ultimately impacting its ability to catalyze reactions efficiently.


What accurately describes how temperature affects enzyme activity?

Temperature can affect enzyme activity by either increasing or decreasing the rate of the reaction. Low temperatures can slow down enzyme activity, while high temperatures can denature enzymes, leading to a loss of function. Each enzyme has an optimal temperature at which it functions most efficiently.


What can affect enzyme activity?
