15Enzymes Enzyme KineticsMedium1 mark
Glucose isomerase is an enzyme often used in commercial food production as it catalyses the conversion of glucose to fructose, which has a sweeter taste. The enzyme is immobilised onto a surface or within agarose beads as part of this process.
The reaction is carried out between and .
Which statements explain why carrying out the reaction at this temperature is beneficial?
  1. 1
    Immobilised enzymes contain more active sites at higher temperatures.
  2. 2
    The activation energy of the reaction is more likely to be reached.
  3. 3
    Increased kinetic energy results in more collisions between enzyme and substrate.
  4. 4
    Maintaining this temperature is cheaper than carrying it out at lower temperatures.
