How does adding an acid to an enzyme reaction effect the enzyme?
it alters the pH of the enzyme denaturing it leaving it unable to carry out it's role effectively or at all
Why acid hydrolysis of sucrose avoided during experiment with enzyme invertase?
Enzyme hydrolysis is better than acid hydrolysis because in enzyme hydrolysis eventhough the final product may contain some Enzyme it wont affectbut on the other hand acid is highly toxic
