Question:

How can the Temperature affect Enzyme Activity and the Rate of Reaction?

Author: go kys



Answer:

-If the Temperature Increases, at first the Rate of the Reaction will also Increase, as because both the Substrates and the Enzymes move around Quicker - More Collisions. -If it gets Too Hot, then the Enzyme's Shape and Active Site will start to Deform - Denaturing. This means it will be Unable to Catalyse the Reaction it was Specific to, and Never Will. Its Permanent -So when the Temperature has reached the Spot where the Rate is Highest, its the Optimum Spot for the Enzyme. [37 Degrees in Human Bodies usually]
