Enzymes Denstured Flashcards
1
Q
What happens as you increase temp
A
The enzyme activity increases
2
Q
How does the enzyme activity increase work?
A
When the temp increases, the enzyme and substrate collide more often
3
Q
What’s the optimum temperature, and fir humans
A
The enzyme temperature that makes them work fastest
Humans optimum temp is 37°
4
Q
What happens if temp increases past optimum temp
A
The enzyme vibrates too much, so the active site changes, and the substrate cannot fit anymore.
5
Q
True or false.
Each enzyme has a specific optimum PH
A
True
6
Q
What happens to the PH that causes the enzyme to denature
A
If the PH is too acidic or alkaline the PH drops to zero, and the enzyme denatures
