Factors that affect 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
• What happens to enzyme activity after 37°C?

  The rate of reaction starts to drop rapidly
• Why does the rate of reaction drop at high temperatures?

  High temperatures break bonds in enzymes
• What is denaturation in enzymes?

  Loss of enzyme's functional shape
• At what temperature does denaturation occur for the enzyme discussed?

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

  37°C
• Do different enzymes have the same optimal temperature?

  No, different enzymes have different optimal temperatures
• What does pH measure?

  Acidity
• How does pH affect enzyme activity?

  Extreme pH lowers the rate of reaction
• What happens to the active site of an enzyme at extreme pH levels?

  It changes shape and may denature
• What is the optimal pH for most enzymes in the body?

  Around 7 (neutral)
• What is the optimal pH for stomach enzymes?

  Around 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 around 37°C
  • pH affects reaction rate; extreme pH can cause denaturation
  • Optimal pH for most enzymes is around 7
  • Stomach enzymes have an optimal pH of around 2
