In position vs. time graph what variable does slope represent?
The slope of a line on a position vs. time graph would represent the a velocity of the object being described.
Graph is exellent for showing range of temperature?
a line graph would do the best or you could do the bar graph but it would be a bit longer to do
What does the point N on the graph represent?
We would have to see the graph.
What would a graph about masses and volumes represent?
A graph about masses and volumes would represent density.
Once a graph has been created would y?
Once a graph has been created, y would be the axis which is shown up and down on the graph. The x axis is shown from left to right on the graph. Both are reference lines on a graph.
What is the name for an enzyme that has lost its ability?
No, enzymes stop working when the body dies
Enzyme may lose ability to function because of what?
Shape. When an enzyme is overheated the bonds between molecules that make up the enzyme breaks, this changes the shape of the enzyme's active site. And as the enzyme is highly specific and would only work on one substrate which fits its active site, the enzyme will be totally denatured and won't activate anymore if it loses its shape.
What would be the effect on product formation if the enzyme were heated to a temperature of 100 degrees celsius for 10 minutes before repeating the experiment?
They would be stopped because the enzyme is denatured from the high temperature. High temperature usually speed them up, but after 45 degrees celsius it becomes denatured.
When a protein such as an enzyme is subjected to too much heat?
The enzyme denatures, the internal bonds break. This means that the active site changes shape. This is because the arrangement of the secondary structures change After overheating an enzyme it is unusable
Which graph what would be the same in an enzyme-catalysed or noncatalyzed reaction?
Delta G (d)
In a denatured enzyme what would happen to the enzyme?
they dont do anything because they are unable to bond with a substrate.
How does boiling an enzyme effects its activity?
As the enzyme gets boiled, the extra heat breaks the bonds that make up the enzyme. This changes it's shape. When an enzyme lose4s it's shape, shape of active site, it loses its specificity, not allowing it to bind to the substrate. This decreases the rate of the reaction until it's completely denatured.
Would an enzyme from one of your body cells be able to function in a place as hot as a hot spring?
Most likely an enzyme from one of your body cells would NOT be able to function in a place as hot as a hot spring because the enzyme would get denatured. denaturization can occur when enzymes are put to extreme temperatures. Since the enzyme is used to your body temp. it is a huge increase to put the enzyme in almost boiling water.
Why do denatured enzymes become disfunctional?
An enzyme's ability to function comes from its shape, which is a result of the folding of the amino acid chain that it's made of. Enzymes act on their substrates (just a fancy word for whatever molecule or chemical or anything that an enzyme acts on) on a certain part of the enzyme called the active site. This can be modeled by an example such as a lock and a key. The lock would be the enzyme, and the key the substrate. It's a very specific fit. When an enzyme becomes denatured, it starts to unfold, which changes its shape. Changing the shape of the active site, means that the substrate no longer fits, just as the key would no longer fit if you heated the lock until it melted. Since the substrate can no longer bind to the enzyme's active site, the enzyme is no longer effective.
What is one thing that would need to be considered concerning the activity of this enzyme in PCR when the temperature is heated during each cycle to separate?
that the DNA polymerase could be denatured
What happen to an enzyme when it is boiled?
That all depends on the enzyme. The majority of enzymes found in the human body would denature (distort and lose its specific active site shape) when exposed to too much heat and stop functioning. Some enzymes can withstand incredible temperature like the enzymes used by simple volcanic organisms. Most enzymes will have evolved to work the most efficiently in their native environment.
Is it good or bad when a protein is denatured?
No. Depending on what the protein is, the consequences could be good or bad for some particular individual. If you were about to be injected with snake venom and the venom proteins got denatured, that would be a very good thing for you. If the protein that's being denatured is your own hemoglobin, that's a very bad thing for you.
