why does the activity of catalase depend on the temp and pH?
Added by Diane P.
Step 1
At temperatures below the optimal range, the enzyme activity decreases as the molecules move more slowly and have less kinetic energy. At temperatures above the optimal range, the enzyme can denature, losing its shape and therefore its function. Show more…
