Answer to Question #214418 in Biology for Jackie wakie

Question

Give an account of the effect of temperature and pH on the activity of enzyme

Answer 1

Enzymes work best within specific temperature and pH ranges, and sub-optimal conditions can cause an enzyme to lose its ability to bind to a substrate. Temperature: Raising temperature generally speeds up a reaction, and lowering temperature slows down a reaction. Extreme pH values can cause enzymes to denature.
