factors affecting enzymes

• What factors affect the functioning of enzymes?

  Temperature and pH
• How does temperature affect the rate of enzyme-controlled reactions?

  Higher temperature increases reaction rate initially
• Why does the rate of reaction drop after 37°C?

  High temperatures break bonds in enzymes
• At what temperature does enzyme denaturation occur in this context?

  Around 45°C
• What is the optimum temperature for enzyme activity mentioned in the video?

  37°C
• What happens to an enzyme when it is denatured?

  It cannot bind to the substrate anymore
• What is pH a measure of?

  Acidity
• How does pH affect enzyme activity?

  Extreme pH levels can denature enzymes
• What is the optimal pH for most enzymes in the body?

  Around pH 7
• What is the optimal pH for enzymes that work in the stomach?

  Around pH 2
• What are the effects of temperature and pH on enzyme activity?

  • Temperature increases reaction rate until denaturation
  • Denaturation occurs around 45°C
  • Optimal temperature for enzymes is 37°C
  • pH affects enzyme shape and activity
  • Optimal pH for most enzymes is around 7
  • Stomach enzymes have optimal pH around 2
