Cooling: When an enzyme is cooled, the activity is only slowed down.

Heating: If an enzyme is overheated, it is known as a denatured enzyme. It changes shape to due the break down of it, and will no longer be able to bond with the substrate.

How you can demonstrate that INT reduction is due to an enzyme catalysed process?

By heating the homogenate. proteins are innactivated by heat and enzyme activity is lost


What switchs on enzyme activity while what can switch off or reduce enzyme activity?

Enzyme activators like cofactors or substrates can switch on enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and promoting its function. Conversely, inhibitors can switch off or reduce enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and preventing its normal function.


Does heating the enzymes catalase speed up the reaction?

Heating the enzyme catalase can initially speed up the reaction by increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules, leading to more frequent collisions between the enzyme and substrate. However, if the temperature exceeds the enzyme's optimal range, it can denature the protein, resulting in a loss of its functional shape and a decrease in catalytic activity. Therefore, while moderate heating may enhance reaction rates, excessive heat will inhibit the enzyme's effectiveness.


What is a thermostable enzyme?

thermostable enzyme is kind of enzyme that could keep working (do their function) through heating condition. Some of enzyme are unstable through heating and get denaturation ( loss of 3D protein shape) in 40-60 degree Celsius. Example: kind of alfa amylase enzyme that stable in 60 degree C.


What do activators and inhibitors help regulate?

Activators and inhibitors help regulate the activity of enzymes. Activators can enhance enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme, while inhibitors can decrease enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and preventing it from functioning properly.

Can heatpump switch from heating to cooling and from cooling to heating automatically?

You have to manually select the heating, and cooling mode located on your thermostat.


What are the effects of physical activity on enzyme activity?

Physical activity can alter the shape of enzyme which can cause damage or may the enzyme become inactive


Can I separate my heating and cooling system, or do I call a professional?

Consultation of a licensed heating/cooling contractor is advisable when considering separating the heating and cooling units. The Guide to Heating and Air Conditioning is an excellent resource for information on heating/cooling repair work.

Can the presence of inhibitors or activitors affect enzyme activity?

Yes, inhibitors can decrease enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and preventing substrate binding. Activators can increase enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and enhancing substrate binding or catalytic activity. Both inhibitors and activators can modulate enzyme activity by changing the enzyme's structure or function.
