Q

enzymes are affected by

A

temperuture increase the rate of reaction increases ,particles gain more kinetic energy so more sucessful collisions between the substrate molecules and the active site

36
Q

What optimum temperature of enzyme activity

A

37

Q

What happen after optimum temperature of enzyme activity

A

Rate of reaction decrease, as enzymes denatured and active site change and substrate will no longer fit
