the effect of temperature and PH on enzyme activity Flashcards
1
Q
what affect does increased heat have on kinetic energy
A
molecules move faster
collide more
and increases the force at which they collide
2
Q
collisions between enzyme and substrate
A
both types of molecules gain kinetic energy
increased collisions
rate of ES complexes formed increases
3
Q
how can heat damage enzymes
A
it may break some of the weak bonds such as hydrogen and ionic bonds
the substrate doesn’t fit
the enzyme is denatured
