Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What effect does increasing temperature generally have on enzyme activity?
  • Step 1: Understand that enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in the body.
  • Step 2: Know that temperature can affect how well enzymes work.
  • Step 3: Realize that as temperature increases, enzyme activity usually increases too, up to a certain point.
  • Step 4: Identify the optimal temperature, which is the best temperature for enzyme activity.
  • Step 5: Recognize that if the temperature goes too high, the enzyme can lose its shape, a process called denaturation.
  • Step 6: Understand that after denaturation, the enzyme can no longer work properly, and activity decreases.
