Document Summary

This optimal temperature varies between enzymes and organisms: colder temperatures slow enzyme movement and activity while higher temperatures cause enzymes to denature, as temperature increases, metabolic rate also increases up to a certain limit. Human enzymes begin to denature at temperatures above around 40 degrees. As a result of this, the enzymes no longer function correctly and metabolic rate decreases: ph, enzymes also have an optimal ph at which they function most efficiently. This optimal ph varies between enzymes and organisms. This stops certain enzymes like digestive enzymes from functioning outside of their native environments: high ph also causes denaturation of proteins, concentration, reaction rates are based, in part, on substrate and enzyme concentration. As long as you have enough substrates, adding more enzymes will increase reaction rates: with fixed enzyme amounts, reaction rates plateau as enzymes are saturated with substrates. Each enzyme can only process so many substrates at a time.
