If the body temperature of a human reached 112 degrees, would many enzymes be destroyed?

Some enzymes will be destroyed. But most will still work. Remember every enzyme has has an optimum envornment that it works at i.e. temperature and pH. So when it gets to 112 a lot of enzymes are not working at their best to sustain life.

It really is dependent upon the enzyme and where it is. You can cook vegetables at high temperatures and not destroy everything. But as a rule if you boil any vitamin then it isn't going to last!

If the Catalyst is inorganic the higher the temp the quicker it works, if the catalyst is organic(enzyme),it will reach a peak of activity,then further temp will destroy the catalyst

the normal temperature from the human body depends where the person lives , in the hot weather or in the cold weather, but the regular temperature is 36 or 37 degrees Celsius

50 ng/ml.  The temp should be between 97 and 100 degrees.  It should be right around you body temperature.  Do NOT heat the sample past 100 degrees.  You could attach the sample on the inner part of your leg for a few hours to regulate the temp. to your body temp.  Oh yeah- make sure that if you get urine from someone else that they are the same gender!

That would be murder.  Diabetics would die if you took their insulin away from them.  That would be murder as well.

The blood woudn't be circulating in the body anymore. The cell wouldn't get their oxygen, and they would die.  So would you.

Much of the activity that goes on in the bodies of animals can be characterized as enzymatically catalyzed chemical reactions.  In other words, enzymes are chemicals in our bodies that cause stuff to happen.  Many enzymes have an optimum temperature range.  If it's too hot or too cold, the enzymes don't function properly.  Insects don't have internal temperature regulation systems, so their enzymes don't work as well when it's cold.

Very few enzymes that work at body temp will break down at fever temps.  So that's not why fevers are effective.\n\nLooking around, most sites say that the immune system works a bit better when you have a fever.

The average specific heat capacity of a human body is approximately 3500 J/kgK

Well, if you're talking about water, that would be 0 degrees (freezing) and 100 degrees (boiling)

It is the optimum temperature for enzymes such as digestive enzymes.

At the extremes of confusion, love, and indigestion, respectively.\n\nBut, since you're asking this in the biology sections, I'm guessing you really want to know at what point the proteins in those organs denature. I'm pretty sure it varies from protein to protein, so it's hard to give a temperature for a whole organ, but you may find some useful background information here:\nhttp://class.fst.ohio-state.edu/FST822/lectures/Denat.htm\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denaturation_(biochemistry)\nhttp://wine1.sb.fsu.edu/enthalpy/enthalpy.htm

Enzymes are proteins.  High temperatures cause proteins to denature and, therefore, cause enzymes not to work.  Every enzyme has an optimal pH, at which point the reaction happens most quickly.  Also, the reaction happens most efficiently when the concentration of enzyme is in balance with the concentration of the substrate.  When a competitive inhibitor is present, the substrate sites on the enzymes become blocked and the reaction cannot take place.

Enzymes have an optimal pH and temperature for their function.  I cannot draw a graph here, so I'll just explain it.  If you graphed enzyme function on the y axis (left side) and temperature or pH on the x asix (bottom) you would see that the enzyme has very little function at the lowest temperature (or pH).  As you increase temp. or pH, the enzyme function will also begin to increase.  Eventually you reach the enzyme's optimal temp. or pH, and at that point, the enzyme funtion cannot increase any more.  If you continue to increase temp. or pH, you will see the enzyme function start to decrease.\n\nThis occurs because enzymes require a certain conformation to function correctly.  If the temp. or pH is not optimal, then the enzyme's shape will be slightly altered from it's optimal conformation.  The altered enzyme may still function, but not as well as the optimal conformation does.\n\nTry Googling "enzyme temperature graph" and then look for images.  You should find a graph similar to what I've described.

enzymes have certain functions that work like a lock and key. heat can change the shape and there for the function and how well the enzymes perform with the one task its suposed to do. This can either make the lock not work or "get stuck" and need extra time. for your body its important for the reactions to work at fast as possible to keep things running and the best temperature for the enzymes is your constant body temperature. for example a siamese cat has black fur on all the warmer parts of its boady because the warmth allows those cartain reaction to take place because of the enzyme

that would be dangerously unhealthy. You could experience permanent heart or kidney damage, or die.
