Enzymes function most efficiently at the temperature of typical cell which is about 37 degrees Celsius. Increases or decreases in temperature can significantly lower the reaction rate. What does this suggest about the importance of temperature-regulating mechanisms in organisms? Explain?

This suggests that the smallest amount of change in the temperature  of the body it will affect the enzymes which are needed for digestion. Therefore if the temperature of the body doesnt  return to its normal state this could affect the cells metabolism and you wouldnt have energy due to a decrease in the reaction rate of the enzymes which in return decrease your ablity to completely digest your food meaning no energy. Therefore its HIGHLY important for the body to regulate the  changes inside the body.

The ability to regulate internal changes of the body is called Homeostasis.

The given information suggests that Enzymes change shape at higher temperatures and therefore, the reaction cannot happen.

Enzymes are proteins that have non-covalent interactions between the functional R groups of amino acids. This generates a complex 3D shape of enzymes.

  • Temperatures other than optimal temperatures break these interactions and result in denature, irreversibly changing their structure.
  • Changes enzyme's shape loses its function.
  • The active site changes when denatured thus no substrates can bind to it, thus losing its function to aid a reaction.

The given information suggests that Enzymes change shape at higher temperatures and therefore, the reaction cannot happen.
