Factors affecting Enzymes

Question 1

Wat is the Q10 temperature coefficient and how do you calculate it?

Answer 1

The measure of the rate of change of an enzyme-controlled reaction as a result of increasing temperature by 10 degrees.

Formula: Q10=R2/R1

R1=rate of reaction at temperature of XCelcius
R2=rate of reaction at temperature (X+10)Celcius

Question 2

List the factors that control the rate of enzyme controlled reactions.

Answer 2

Temperature.
pH.
Enzyme and Substrate Concentration.
Competitive Inhibitors.
