Understand how the functioning of enzymes can be affected by changes in temperature
1. a) Increase in temp = increase in average KE of particles.
b) increase in average KE of particles = more frequent collisions = more fruitful reactions.
2. Particles = Substrate and the Enzyme
Reaction = E+S ---> ES(complex)--> E + Product formed.
Low temp = low KE, few complexes formed and product will be formed slowly (slow rate of reaction)
Higher temp = KE of S and E increase --> more complexes formed = more product formed.
Optimum temp (peak of curve) = rate of reaction declined very quickly because KE changes the shape of the ACTIVE SITE of the enzyme = denatured. (cannot produce any more product).
