Enzyme Activity Flashcards
1
Q
What happens to enzyme activity at low temperatures?
A
There is not enough energy.
2
Q
What is the optimum temperature for enyme activity?
A
37⁰C
3
Q
What happens to enzyme activity above optimum temperature?
A
The enzymes begin to denature above 37⁰C.
4
Q
How does a low pH affect enzyme activity?
A
At a pH of less than 7, the enzymes will be denatured.
5
Q
What is the optimal pH level for enzyme activity?
A
pH 7.
6
Q
What happens to enzyme activity at a high pH?
A
The enzymes will denature.
