Does temperature effect enzymes

Answer 1

Hello @Liam12345 !
Welcome to OS

Answer 2

Yes, they affect enzymes

Answer 4

yes of course ..

Many of the enzymes in our bodies work best at body temperature. At significantly lower temperatures the substrate molecules do not have enough kinetic energy for the reaction to take place even in the presence of the enzyme. At body temperatures significantly higher than normal, the enzyme will not work well because the kinetic energy from the molecules in the solution containing the enzyme is so high, that the enzyme's shape is pulled apart to he point that the enzyme is not able to properly function.

Indeed the enzyme's structure may be so disrupted or denatured hat the enzyme molecule cannot return to its original shape. Indeed the danger of high fevers stems in large part from the potential damage to enzymes and other proteins from the high temperature

Answer 5

yes, temperature and pH both affect enzymes. at low temp, the reactions will slow down, and won't work as well. at highter temp, they will break apart and will not be able to function. basically what @alphadxg said

Answer 6

Enzymes denature when you are sick and when you have a fever (Temp increases)

Answer 7

@alphadxg that's why u get fevers !
It is a kind of immune response our body shows against pathogens. The main idea is to denature there enzymes

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

wait yes
sorry
