Licemer1 [7]3 years ago

The optimal temperature for an enzyme is the one at which the enzyme is the most active and productive.

At temperatures below the optimum temperature, the enzyme still catalyzes the reactions, but with decreased activity.

Even though the temperature increase increases the activity of the enzymes, temperatures that are greater than the optimum cause damage the enzyme strucutre, causing denaturation and loss of function

Answer:

The enzyme will denature.

Explanation:

Enzymes are defined as bio catalyst that can increase the rate of a biochemical reaction occurring in the living organisms. Enzymes increases the effective collision between the reactants.

Enzymes works at optimum temperature and pH. The enzyme gets denatured and loses its biological activity if temperature varies too far. The enzyme structure will distort due to high temperature. Most of the enzymes are made up of proteins. High temperature can destroy the folded structure and the shape of the enzyme.

a chemist studies two forms of refined gasoline. which of the following branches of chemistry might the chemist us?
valentinak56 [21]
The branch of chemistry that the chemist might use will be the branch of <em>organic chemistry</em>. This is because gasoline is an organic compound. We can say that a compound is organic if it contains a carbon atom. Gasoline is composed of long chains of alkanes (hydrocarbons with single bonds) ranging from 4 carbon atoms to 12 carbon atoms.
