Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity

Cards (4)

    • Most enzymes work at their highest activity when temperature is close to 37°C (human body temperature) - This is the optimum temperature for enzyme activity.
    • As temperature increases or decreases above or below body temperature, the rate of enzyme activity decreases.
    • Enzymes become denatured when temperature becomes too high or too low.
  • Effect of changing temperature on rate of enzyme activity
