B3.5 factors affecting enzyme action Flashcards
What happens to the rate of reaction when temperature increases
the rate of reaction increases
what does temperature increase to to the enzyme
it gives the enzyme and substrate more kinetic energy so they move faster
what does the enzyme and substrate moving faster mean
successful collisions will occur more often and more energetically
what is the temperature the enzyme works best at
the optimum temperature
what happens beyond the optimum temperature
the rate of reaction decreases
what do high temperatures do to the enzyme
high temperatures break the bonds that hold the enzymes shape which changes the shape of the enzyme and the active site, so the substrate no longer fits into the active site and the enzyme becomes denatured
different enzymes work best at different pH values
FACT!
what happens if the pH is too high or low
the bonds and forces that hold the enzyme in shape are affected and the shape of the enzyme and active site is changed, substrate no longer fits in active site- enzyme denatured
what happens if the pH is too high or low
the bonds and forces that hold the enzyme in shape are affected and the shape of the enzyme and active site is changed, substrate no longer fits in active site- enzyme denatured
what happens if the pH is too high or low
the bonds and forces that hold the enzyme in shape are affected and the shape of the enzyme and active site is changed, substrate no longer fits in active site- enzyme denatured
how do you calculate rate?
rate= 1/time(or 100/time or 1000/time)
