B4 enzymes Flashcards
1
Q
Enzymes
A
Proteins that function as biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions
2
Q
How does temp. and pH affect enzyme activity after optimum
A
High temps. will cause enzymes to denature making it difficult for substrate molecules to fit in the active site (changes shape)
3
Q
How does temp. affect enzyme activity up to optimum
A
Kinetic energy and collision rate increases therefore increasing enzyme activity
4
Q
How does pH affect enzyme activity up to optimum
A
Enzyme activity increases
