Hello students.
00:01
Now in this question they have given regarding a catalase enzyme whose optimum temperature is 37 degrees celsius.
00:09
And they are telling that they are going to increase that temperature further by 30 degrees celsius.
00:15
So the temperature that they have set is approximately equal to 67 degrees celsius.
00:22
Right.
00:23
So in this case they are asking what will happen to the activity of the catalase enzyme.
00:28
Will its activity increase, will it denature, will it abruptly decrease in the rate of activity, or will it abruptly increase in the rate of activity? for that, we need to understand the relation between the temperature and the activity of the enzyme, right? so we will write temperature on the x -axis and the activity of the enzyme, that is the catalase enzyme in the y -axis.
00:58
So, in this case, what happens is you will observe as the temperature increases, right? as the temperature increases, you will observe that the activity will increase.
01:12
What will you observe? you will observe that the activity of the enzyme will increase.
01:18
But that is only up to the optimum temperature.
01:24
That is nothing but 37 degrees celsius in this case.
01:28
So how should the graph be? the graph will be somewhat like this.
01:32
Wherein you will observe that this point is the 37 degree celsius, right? now what are they doing? they are further increasing up to further increasing 30 degrees celsius, right? so in this case what happens is that above the optimum temperature, what you observe is that the temperature as it further increases, you will observe that the activity of the enzyme will decrease.
02:03
What will decrease? the activity will decrease because of the denaturation of the enzyme...
