Topic 1 - The Effects On Enzyme Activity

Question 1

What’s the effect of temperature on enzyme activity?

Answer 1

that temperature increases but once it reaches the optimum temperature the rate of reaction decreases ans the enzyme is now denatured

Question 2

What’s the effect of PH on enzyme activity?

Answer 2

As the pH increases above the optimum it becomes denatured and the enzyme activity decreases

Question 3

What’s the effect of substrate concentration on enzyme activity?

Answer 3

as the concentration of the substrate increases so does the rate of enzyme activity

Question 4

what is digestion and where does it happen?

Answer 4

Digestion is when large insoluble molecules are broken down into smaller soluble ones that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Digestion occurs in the gut (tube from mouth to anus) and it relies on enzymes which are biological catalysts
