Why does the rate of an enzyme reaction not just always increase with temperature? Why does it fall after a point?

Enzymes have an area on them known as the ACTIVE SITE. This active site is shaped to fit the substrate that will bind to it -complementary fit. Eventually, the bonds in the active site of the enzymes are goi...

How do I compare the processes of diffusion and osmosis?

Firstly, think of similarities between the processes. For example, neither process requires energy, so they are passive processes. This means that in both processes, molecules must move from a high concentra...

Describe the factors which affect rate of reaction.

Temperature can affect rate of reaction. As temperature increases, rate of reaction also increases, because enzymes have more kinetic energy. This continues up to the optimum temperature (for enzymes in huma...
