temperature affecting enzymes

Question 1

lower temperatures slow down reaction so

Answer 1

• molecules move slower
• Lower frequency of successful collisions
• Less frequent enzyme-substrate complex formation
• making it less likely for bonds to be formed or broken (stopping the reaction from occurring)

Question 2

Higher temperatures speed up reactions so

Answer 2

• Molecules move more quickly
• Higher frequency successful collisions
• More frequent enzyme-substrate complex formation
• making it more likely for bonds to be formed or broken (allowing the reaction to occur)
