Question

How does temperature affect enzyme activity?

Accepted Answer

A higher temperture increases the rate at first
But when it gets too hot, some of the bonds holding the enzyme together break
This changes the shape of the enzyme's active site, so the substrate won't fit any more
The enzyme is said to be denatured
