How does diff temperature affect enzyme activity? (4)



Answer:

Low temp: not enough thermal E to activate an enzyme catalyzed reaction. High temp: increases speed + motion of enzyme and substrate = higher enzyme activity bec of more frequent collisions Optimal: enzyme activity at its peak Too high Temp: enzyme stability decreases, thermal E disrupts the H bonds in enzyme = lose its shape = denaturation
