Q

where are the reaction taking place

A

active site

16
Q

what happens to an enzyme if it gets to hot

A

it will denature

17
Q

what is the optimum temperature of enzymes in the body

A

37c

18
Q

practical on effect of temperature

A

starch solution is heat to set temp
iodine is added to wells
amylase is added to the starch
this is continued till iodine stops turning blue-black
time taken for the reaction to be completed is recorded
the quicker the reaction is completed the aster the enzyme is working

19
Q

affect of pH/temp on enzymes

A

this will change the shape of the active site so it is no longer complimentor to
