Question

plz help gold medal will be awarded. if a chemical reaction catalyzed by an enzyme is being carried out, and there is a sudden, drastic decrease in temperature, what is most likely to happen next?

Answer 1

See enzyme are temperature dependent..they work only in a particular temperature range.....so what do u think

Answer 2

oh thanks so much

Answer 3

oh um i dont know

Answer 4

enzyme activity will be decreased bcz enzymes get denatured at low and hgh temperatures..

Answer 5

oh ok

Answer 6

thx

Answer 7

You wrote I should contribute, but I'm a physical biochemist so I give a mathematical answer:
For a system that follow the Arrhenius equation we get that:
\[\large k=A ~ \exp \left( \frac{ -E _{a} }{ k _{b} \times T } \right)\]
What happens if T increases? Assume no denaturation.
