- Digestion and enzymes
- Enzymes are protein molecules which act as biological catalyst. they help seed up chemical reactions in living things
- The active site is especial region of the enzyme where the substance fits in. the reaction takes place here
- At very low temperatures the enzymes are substrates are not colliding and very few reaction can occur
- As the temperatures increase the enzymes and substrates gain more kinetic energy
- They move more causing correct collisions to occur
- This result in more product being formed
- Optimum temperature- this is the temperature at which the enzyme works best. 35 -40 degr
- The highest rate of reaction occurs here
- The most product is formed in given time
- Denatured-At very high temperatures the substrate and the enzyme have even more kinetic energy and move faster. around 60 degrees
- Too high temperature causing the shape of the active sie to change
- The substrate no lover fits so less product can be formed
- The most product is formed in given time
