What is optimum temperature? Define it.
Answers
This optimal temperature is usually around human body temperature (37.5 oC) for the enzymes in human cells. Above this temperature the enzyme structure begins to break down (denature) since at higher temperatures intra- and intermolecular bonds are broken as the enzyme molecules gain even more kinetic energy.
Answer:
A particular temperature that helps in carrying out a particular process is defined as optimum temperature.
Explanation:
Optimum temperature works mainly on enzymes of human body. Temperature controls the activity of enzymes, as in, the enzyme activity increases with the increase in temperature and it decreases in decreased temperature.
The particular temperature that regulates a particular enzyme reaction may be called as the optimum temperature. Every enzyme has an optimum temperature, for example- generally human enzymes work optimally in the 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit temperature of human body
