Enzymes And Temperature Change

Enzymes speed up a chemical reaction without having to be chemically altered (Pires, n.d.).Therefore, enzymes that don’t undergo a temperature change that is outside of its optimum temperature will be reusable (Pires, n.d.). This means the enzymes will continue to be used in order to bind substrate molecules and catalyze the reaction until there aren’t any substrates left (Pires, n.d.). On the other hand, if the enzyme does experience a change in temperature that is outside the range of its optimum temperature, then the enzyme would not be reusable (Pires, n.d.). This is due to denaturation (Pires, n.d.).
Enzymes can’t cause reactions, but speed up the large amount of chemical reactions required for cells to live and do their job (BBC-GCSE,
