Question:

What happens when the temperature of an enzyme is increased past the optimum temperature?

Author: Alana Ray



Answer:

When the temperature is increased past the optimum temperature, the enzyme’s activity begins to rapidly decrease to zero, the enzyme stops working because at high temperatures the enzyme molecules vibrates which changes the shape of the active site, making the active site denatured so the enzyme can no longer catalyse the reaction
