Every enzymes has its own optimum pH and temperature, where it shows higher activity (pH:it is very specific; temperature:mostly not more than 30-37degree C). Above or below this situation the enzymes activity may differs exponentially due to the biochemical changes.

∙ 11y agoThe most notable effect is at certain pH levels or high temperatures, enzymes are denatured (as they are proteins), and cannot function thereafter. Depending on the enzyme, certain temperatures and pH levels enhance or weaken the ability of an enzyme to function, where extremes normally denature it.

∙ 15y agoEnzymes can become denatured (changes shape and can no longer function) when the pH changes of temperature. They can only work in certain temps and levels.

What conditions affects the function of enzymes?
The activity of an enzyme is affected by temperature, pH and the concentration of the substrate.
Why are temperatures and pH important to enzyme function?
Enzymes function optimally at a patricular temperature and pH. If the temperature is decreased or increased, the enzyme will not function as effectively. The enzyme is most active only at a patricular temperature and pH. Hence, these two factors are very important for enzyme action.
What factors affect the activity of enzymes?
Enzymes work best in the pH and temperature that they are " designed " for. A pepsin enzyme works best in the low pH environment of the stomach, while amylase works best at mouth temperature and ~ 7 pH. Heat and out of range pH can denature enzymes and not only affect their activity but inactivate them.
What are the factors of denature enzymes?
if u mean 'what are the factors that denature enzymes?' the answer is:--------- changes in pH and an increase in temperature
What is the optional pH enzymes function at?
Human ones @ 7.4 (neutral at body temp).
What are the factors affects the function of enzymes?
pH and Temperature both impact the enzyme's function.
What conditions affects the function of enzymes?
The activity of an enzyme is affected by temperature, pH and the concentration of the substrate.
Is Enzyme function dependent of physical and chemical environmental factors such as pH and temperature?
they're dependent on color and taste
Are pH level and enzymes related?
Most enzymes only work in a certain pH range; pH is not dependent on the presence of enzymes, however.
Why are temperatures and pH important to enzyme function?
Enzymes function optimally at a patricular temperature and pH. If the temperature is decreased or increased, the enzyme will not function as effectively. The enzyme is most active only at a patricular temperature and pH. Hence, these two factors are very important for enzyme action.
Why would a washing powder of high pH or low pH be difficult to handle?
actors such as temperature and pH can affect an enzyme's rate of reaction because enzymes are sensitive to pH and heat. Most enzymes can only function in a particular temperature or pH range, and as the enzyme works out of its normal temperature and pH range, it will denature (change in shape so that the active site no longer fits with the substrate and the enzyme can't function).
What can be denatured by changes in temperature or pH?
enzymes
Does temperature affect pH levels in swimming pools?
pH value is very dependent on the temperature.
Does the pH of the media change during sterilization why?
The pH is dependent on the temperature.
All enzymes function optimally at pH equals 7.4 . true or false?
Enzymes have an individual optimum pH, such as pepsin has a very low optimum pH
What do pH and temperature alter the activity of an enzyme?
Enzymes are proteins, and proteins are designed to exist at specific temperatures and pH levels. When the temperature or the pH of their environment changes, the interactions that hold the amino acids of the enzyme in its particular conformation cease to function. The protein simply "falls apart" into an unstructured assembly of amino acids (a polypeptide still, but no longer a true protein) and cannot fulfill its function; this is called denaturation. For most enzymes, this occurs with an increase in temperature or a decrease in pH from their standard physiological environment.
What factors affect an enzymes operation the most?
temperature and pH
