Temperature

Cards (4)

What happens as the temperature increases when an enzyme catalyses?
The rate of reaction increases, this increases the temperature to the optimum temperature
Why does the temperature increasing make the rate of reaction increase, when enzymes catalyse?
The particles have more energy so there are more successful collisions
What happens as the temperature increase past the optimum, when enzymes catalyse?
The rate of reaction decreases
Why does the rate of reaction decrease after the the temperature increase past the optimum, when enzymes catalyse? 
The enzyme denatures, changes shape, so can no longer work
