Question:

How does temperature affect the rate of an enzyme?

Author: yxng.edxn



Answer:

It changes the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. When the temperature gets higher, it increases the rate. If it gets too hot, the bonds holding the enzyme together will break, changing the active site shape, and denaturing the enzyme since the substrate won't fit anymore.
