Question

What is the effect of temperature on amylase enzyme conversion of starch to sugar

Answer 1

The rate of an enzymatic reaction reaction increases with temperature as the substrate molecules have higher energy
and rate of collision increases. Enzyme structure changes at higher temperature as the weaker bonds break. This makes
the enzyme inactive and the substrate can no longer bind to it. So rate of reaction will be drastically reduced at higher temperature.

At low temperature, few substrate moecules have enough energy to react, so rate of reaction decreases.
