In what ways do Temperature and pH affect the enzymatic activity within a biological system. Give an example of this to expalin it.

Solution

Answer:

Enzymatic activity of the temperature increases with increase in temperature. Every enzyme shows activity at optimum temperature. In mesophytes, the optimum temperature is 35 degree. Above 40 degree, enzyme activity decreases and denaturation of the enzymes takes place. Enzyme is inactive below 10 degree. In thermophiles, enzyme is active at 70 degree.

Every enzyme shows activity at specific pH. At specific pH only enzyme activity is observed.

Pepsin: 2

Lipase: 6

Chymotrypsin : 7.8
