Temp vs Catalyst

Postby Andrew Greene 3H » Mon Mar 11, 2024 11:17 am

I know that enzymes are a group of catalyst where they operate at a certain range of pH and Temp. Would we be able to see on a diagram the point at which temperatures affect the activity of the enzymes?

Yes, enzyme activity in relation to temperature can be shown on a graph where enzyme activity peaks at an optimal temperature and declines sharply beyond that due to denaturation.

Yes, on an enzyme activity versus temperature graph, you would typically see a bell-shaped curve where enzyme activity increases with temperature up to an optimal point, beyond which the activity sharply decreases due to enzyme denaturation. This graph visually demonstrates the specific temperature range within which an enzyme operates most effectively, highlighting the optimal temperature for its activity.
