Question

Biological reactions in our body depend on the presence of biocatalysts. What name is given to these catalysts? How is their activity influenced by changes in temperature?

Answer 1

Bio-catalysts present in our body are named as 'Enzymes'.
Initially the rate of reaction increases with increase in temperature but after sometimes with further increase in the temperature the enzymes get denatured.Most of the enzymes are active below 40⁰C.And also enzymes are inactive at very low temperature.
