Temperature
As you increase the temperature of the system in which the enzyme is involved in, the rate of catalysis of the enzyme increases. However, one must make take note that the optimum temperature of the enzyme must not be surpassed because very high temperatures could change the structure of the protein-based enzyme, rendering the enzyme ineffective.
Surface Area of the substrate
If you increase the surface area of the substrate, the enzyme will bind to more sites on the substrate and the rate of the reaction will therefore be faster.
pH
Different enzymes work in different environments. One of the factors that determine the state of the environment in which the enzyme operates is its pH. There are enzymes that exhibit optimum rate of catalysis of reactions at in an acidic environment while there are some that exhibit their optimum rate at a basic environment, while yet others only operate in relatively neutral environments.

Do enzymes have effect on chemical bonds?
Yes. They are used as kind of cookie cutters to break chemical bonds and form new ones. Every cell has specific enzymes to make a specific molecule. Sometimes they can run in chains, so you will have 3 enzymes acting upon molecules & elements to produce a final result.
What is a 3 letter suffix which indicates that an organic compound is an enzyme?
That is -ase. Enzymes are one type of proteins; enzymes have groups too. Proteases are enzymes that break down proteins.
What are 3 tools used in genetic research?
chemicals, computers, enzymes
What are the four factors that effect enzyme activity?
temperature, pH, concentration of enzymes, and concentration of substrates.
Do enzymes work best at a narrow PH range?
I love halo 3
What types of conditions affect enzymes?
if the envirionment is cold, the reaction rate decreases. if the envirionment is warm, the reaction rate increases. however, if the envirinment is too hot, the enzyme will be denatured. a pH out of the enzyme's optimal range will also denature it. when an enzyme is denatured, it looses its shape a its active site is no longer able to recive the molecule and break it down.
How does pH 3 benefit the working stomach?
It's very acidic so it will provide the conditions for enzymes to multiply and it will kill off bacteria. Acid DOES NOT digest the food, ENZYMES digest the food
What are the 3 conditions required for enzymes to do their job properly?
temperature, pH, and allosteric inhibition (at least that's what I said on my bio essay)
Does protein effect heart rate?
yes protein helps the heart rate because omega 3 is in a tun of protein ao it does help it
What are 3 factors that can have a effect on the rate of diffusion?
Diffusion rate varies with concentration difference, temperature and dimension of transfer path (area or distance).
What 3 organs are enzymes present?
what are the 3 organs that contribute enzymes and chemicals into the small intestine
How do enzymes co-enzymes and vitamins relate to one another?
They don't at all. Enzymes, Coenzymes, and Vitamins are 3 totally different thing
What is effect of overpopulation?
the effect of overpopulation are (1) high rate of crime (2) low standard of living (3) high rate of unemployent (4) insufficent of social amenities (5) traffic congestion (for more contant me on facebook on babade paul adegoke)
What are the necessary conditions to show causation in science?
There are three conditions that must be present to show causality: 1) there must be a strong correlation between the proposed cause and effect, 2) the proposed cause must precede the effect in time, and 3) the cause has to be present whenever the effect occurs (Burns & Grove, 2001, p. 791).

What conditions are needed for the digestion of proteins in the stomach?
Protease : an enzyme that hydrolyzes proteins, and Gastric juice which contains enzymes and Hcl( hydrochloric acid)
When was the 29 cent postal rate started?
The postage rate was raised to 29 cents on 3 February 1991. It was 25 cents prior to that. It remained in effect until January 1, 1995.
