BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes work best within specific temperature and pH ranges, and sub-optimal conditions can cause an enzyme to lose its ability to bind to a substrate. Temperature: Raising temperature generally speeds up a reaction, and lowering temperature slows down a reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Every enzyme has an optimum temperature; the temperature at which the enzyme activity is greatest. This can be different from one enzyme to the next, but enzymes within the human body tend to have optimum temperatures around 37°C.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes work the best at their own optimum temperature and optimum pH because when the temperature and pH is not in the enzyme’s optimum range, the enzyme would either not work as well (lower rate) or would denature, which would also lower the rate of reaction for the enzyme.
