enzymes:factors affecting activity(unit 3) Flashcards
1
Q
whats the optimum enzyme temperature for a human
A
40c
2
Q
as the temperature increases up to the optimal temperature the reaction
A
also increases
3
Q
what happens below optimum temperature
A
less energy
fewer collisions
slower reaction
4
Q
what happens above optimum temperature
A
hydrogen bombs in enzyme break
enzyme and active site loses its shape (denatured)
5
Q
what is the optimum ph for a enzyme
A
it is between 7-8 as this is the ph of most body cells
6
Q
does ph affect the charge of the site
A
yes
7
Q
if ph changes the charge of the site changes
A
yes
8
Q
the concentrations of the enzyme and of the substrate affect the rate of reaction
A
yes
