प्रश्न
Do the vital functions of the body such as digestion get affected during fever? Explain your answer.
उत्तर
The rate of an enzyme reaction is maximum at a definite temperature, called the optimum temperature. On either side of the optimum temperature, the enzyme activity decreases. The optimum temperature range for enzymatic activity is 298-310 K. Human body temperature being 310 K is suited for enzyme-catalysed reactions. Therefore, during fever, catalytic activity of the enzyme may get affected.
