Biology: Chapter 4 Subtopic: Understanding Enzymes

The document discusses enzymes and their mechanism of action. It explains the "lock and key" hypothesis for how enzymes act on substrates. It lists four factors that can affect enzyme activity: temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, and inhibitor concentration. It also describes how temperature specifically can influence enzyme activity, noting that high temperatures can denature the enzyme's structure.
