What is the effect of temperature below and above the optimum temperature on reaction rate
What is the effect of temperature below and above the optimum temperature on reaction rate?
Introduction:
A physical quantity refers to if the matter or atmosphere is either hot or cold. The S.I. unit of temperature is Kelvin which is denoted by a symbol K.
The device used to measure the temperature is known as a thermometer.
Explanation:
The enzyme and substrate are the most important pre-requisite for enzyme activity. The enzyme (E) and substrate (S) combine with each other to form an unstable enzyme-substrate complex (ES) which resulted in the form of product (P).
Temperature is one of the physical quantity which changes the reaction rate on an enzyme during enzyme kinetics. An increase in temperature results in higher activation energy of the molecules and more molecular collision and interaction for the reaction to proceed faster.
