How might a change in a pH affect the function of an enzyme such as hexokinase?

Many enzymes are affected by changes in temperature. Cells can regulate the activities of enzymes in many ways. Most cells contain proteins that help turn key enzymes "on" and "off" at critical stages in the life of the cell. Enzymes play essential roles in regulating chemical pathways, making materials that cells need, releasing energy, and transferring info.
there ya go ppl....... always there to help ya know (:

What is a function of enzyme protein for example hexokinase?
Hexokinase is an enzyme involved in the phosphorylation of hexose (five carbon sugar). It speeds the process on adding a phosphorus to the sugar.
Which enzyme in glycolysis is responsible for the conversion of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate?
Hexokinase
What factor does not affect enzyme function?
jhn
What is the purpose of the extracellular enzyme experiment?
Extracellular enzyme is an enzyme that performs its role or function outside a cell. The purpose of experimenting extracellular enzyme is to know how can it affect our body when the bacteria secretes.
Does the allosteric effect in an enzyme change the enzyme's function?
allosteric effectors have their own specific sites for binding to enzyme. they can bring positiveor negative effect. that depends on the natre of effector.

What is hexokinase?
a hexokinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of hexoses.
What can affect a biological function?
enzyme
Which enzyme in glycolysis is responsible for the conversion of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate?
Hexokinase
What factor does not affect enzyme function?
jhn
What effects does acid have on ezyme?
Acids can denature enzymes and make them less active or completely inactive. Denaturation causes a change in the three-dimensional structure of an enzyme which can affect the function of the enzyme.
How might a choice in pH affect the function of an enzyme such as hexolkinase?
Simply put, enzymes are proteins and proteins can denature (break) under the right conditions. These conditions would include temperature and pH (however these are not the only factors) and so the changing of pH could definitely affect hexolkinase (or did you mean hexokinase? which would make more sense).
What reaction does the enzyme hexokinase catalyze?
First step of glycolysis- the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate.
What substrate is converted into glucose 6 phosphate by the enzyme hexokinase?
Glucose, although only the liver uses a different enzyme, called glucokinase which does the same thing.
Change in the pH should the enzyme?
If you change the pH, the enzyme can become inactive and won't be able anymore to forfill its function.
What is the purpose of the extracellular enzyme experiment?
Extracellular enzyme is an enzyme that performs its role or function outside a cell. The purpose of experimenting extracellular enzyme is to know how can it affect our body when the bacteria secretes.
What are two factors that affect an enzyme function?
Temperature, pH, solute concentration, and salt content just to name a few. Temperature and Ph affect the function of enzymes because our body has a temperature of around 37 degrees and the conditions in our stomach are acidic. So9f or the enzyme to work properly then the working condidtions have to be at least 37 degrees and they need to acidic otherwise the enzyme won't work properly.
