BIOB34H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Covalent Bond, Collision Theory, The Molecules
Document Summary
The river temperature keeps increasing, decreasing the sockeye salmon"s aerobic scope, making it so the fish cannot swim back to their breeding grounds. The molecules are colliding together with enough energy. As the temperature increases molecules collide more, making it so molecules have enough energy to get to the transition state. In the presence of an enzyme the transition state. Not all enzymes are equally thermally-sensitive, so this may mean also that temperature disrupts metabolic pathways. declines and this leads to an increase in reactions. When an enzyme is subjected to a high temperature the enzymes begin to denature. The molecules start to move around faster and may break the bonds holder them together if they move around too fast. Enzymes denature with the increase in temperature. bonds, these bonds are easily broken. Strong bonds: ionic, disulphide bonds (covalent bond) are stronger and better at resisting higher temperature damage.
