2.2.1 Effect Of pH And Temperature On Enzymes

Question 1

Optimum temperature of enzymes

Answer 1

37’C
Human body temperature

Question 2

Enzymes in low temperature

Answer 2

Less kinetic energy so there are fewer enzyme substrate collisions
This results in fewer chemical reactions

Question 3

Enzymes in high temperature

Answer 3

Enzymes become denatured and the shape of the active site changes
Which means the enzyme ans substrate can’t bind u

Question 4

Result of pH below or above optimim

Answer 4

The enzymes becomes denatured because it is too acidic or alkaline

Question 5

Optimim pH of Pepsin

Answer 5

2

Question 6

Optimim pH of Trypsin

Answer 6

7-8
