How does temperature effect the rate of enzymes Flashcards
1
Q
Initially, raising the temperature …?
A
Increases the rate of reaction
2
Q
What happens after the optimum temperature is reached?
A
The enzyme begins to change shape and the active site stops being able to bind to the substrate.
3
Q
What happens after an enzyme becomes denatured?
A
It stops working (the rate of reaction is zero at this point’
