How does temperature affect enzyme activity?
As the temperature increase, so does the rate of reaction until about 35 where the rate of reaction decreases steadily.
What is the optimum temperature of enzymes?
35 degrees
What is the optimum temperature of chymotrypsin
8pH
What is the optimum temperature of Cholinesterase
Between 8pH and 10pH
What is the optimum temperature of Pepsin
2pH
What is the optimum temperature of Papain
Between 4pH and 8pH
What are enzymes
Enzymes are special proteins involved in metabolism and help speed up reaction(biological catalysts)
