What happens to an enzyme if the temperature varies too far from the enzyme's optimum (or best) temperature?

Biology

Fantom [35]2 years ago

If the temperature is too low, enzyme molecules don’t have enough kinetic energy to collide and combine with other substrate molecules. So the enzyme activity/ reaction rate will be very low. The rate will rise again once the temperature increases to its optimum temperature.

But if the temperature is too high, enzyme will be denatured, which means the shape of the active site of the enzyme is changed. It can no long combine with other substrate molecules. The rate will drop significantly. Yet, lowering the temperature won’t help because denaturation is permanent and irreversible.

<h2>Functions of spleen</h2>

Explanation:

The major functions of spleen besides filtering the blood of foreign materials and phagocytosis of old defective erythrocytes are:

  • Body defense:
  1. Initiate immune responses against infections by liberation of antigen and activation of lymphocytes (T and B cells)  
  2. Secretes bactericidal agents which act against invading bacteria
  3. Secretes interleukins which promote the growth of lymphocytes or antibodies that act against pathogens
  • Reservoir: Pools blood by storing thrombocytes, immature erythrocytes.
  • Hematopoiesis: Blood cells like erythrocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes develop and mature in spleen especially during the early fetal life.
