“…In recent times, the rapid increase in global climate change has become a major cause of concern following the accelerated increase in temperature and its eventual consequences on human life and the ecosystem (Barik, 2020). Climate change has posed a major issue of the 21st century, which has led to the dramatic alteration of atmospheric composition and the gradual depletion of the earth's protective layer, known as the "ozone layer," by natural factors and anthropogenic activities, which ultimately may modify long-term climatic trends (Jupinder et al, 2014). Ozone layer is made up of high concentrations of ozone which helps to absorb solar radiations and ultraviolet radiations.…”

Objective: The continuous rise in climate change has become a major cause of concern following the accelerated increase in temperature and its eventual consequences on the ecosystem. This study investigates the effects of global warming on Enzymes, with the aim of reviewing the relationship between climate change and enzymes. Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises of expository discussion. We explore the literature and carried out thorough theoretical discussion on the various impacts of climate change on enzyme-producing organisms, soil ecosystem, aquatic ecosystem as well as the role of enzymes in mitigating the consequences of climate change. Results and Discussion: We find that temperature plays a crucial role in the activity of enzymes, which in turn has a significant impact on the entire organism. Any changes in temperature can disrupt the relationships between enzyme-producing microorganisms and the surrounding microbial communities. This disruption can have consequences for the overall ecosystem of microorganisms and affect the dynamics of enzyme production. When the temperature increases by 10°C, the rate of enzyme-controlled reactions doubles. Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed. We show that temperature plays a crucial role in the activity of enzymes which in turn has a significant impact on the entire organism. The implication of our finding is that the relationship between global warming, climate change, and enzymes is complex and multifaceted. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the interconnectedness of environmental factors with biological processes. The relevance and value of the paper are evidenced by the findings that Enzymes function within specific temperature ranges, and any shifts in temperature can affect their efficiency and their activity.
