Heat affect any enzyme and so pepsin. A temperature about 80 degrees can degarade most of the proteins and pepsin. At this temperature pepsin loose its structure and can not be active after that.
Decreased incubation temperature would likely decrease pepsin activity because enzymes generally have optimal temperature ranges for activity, and lower temperatures can slow down enzyme reactions. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that functions optimally at around body temperature (37°C), so decreasing the temperature may reduce its efficiency in breaking down proteins.
The water molecules will slow down.
No, pepsin is not the substrate in the experiment with BAPNA. BAPNA is the synthetic substrate used in this experiment to test the activity of the enzyme pepsin by measuring the rate of substrate cleavage. Pepsin acts on BAPNA as the enzyme, not the substrate.
The optimum temperature for pepsin activity is around 37 degrees Celsius, which is body temperature. Pepsin is most active at this temperature range, allowing it to function optimally in breaking down proteins in the stomach.
Yes, it is. Proteins in the presence of pepsin are converted into peptide chains (polypeptides). The reaction is : Proetins→ (In the presence of pepsin-to be written over the arrow) Polypeptides.
Pepsin activity would decrease and at a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.

Pepsin is produced in the stomach. Pepsin is an enzyme that digests (hydrolyses) proteins into smaller polypeptide molecules.

The enzyme whose activity decreases in both acidic and basic environments is pepsin. Pepsin is an enzyme found in the stomach that functions optimally at a pH of around 2. In environments that are either too acidic or too basic, the structure of pepsin can be denatured, leading to a decrease in enzymatic activity.
The optimum temperature for pepsin is between 30 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius. Activity has been reported outside of this range.
Antacids have powerful adsorbent and precipitating effect on pepsin, which can lead to its reduction
