Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rate of a biological reaction. They have several properties to carry out their functions as catalysts: firstly they have active sites that induce bond-bending and stretching so as to reduce the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They also can provide an optimal environment for the reaction to take place, i.e. a low pH environment.
Yes, cells contain many enzymes which are able to function inside the cell.
Molecules required for the catalytic function of enzymes
False. While some enzymes may function optimally at a pH of 7.4, not all enzymes have the same optimal pH. Enzymes can have a range of pH values at which they function best, depending on their specific structure and function.

Enzymes that become no longer functional are referred to as being "denatured".

Alcoholic fermentation involves the actions of enzymes. Enzymes function properly within their optimal temperature range. An increase or decrease in temperature can denature the enzymes, causing them not to function.
pH and Temperature both impact the enzyme's function.
Denatured enzymes are enzymes whose structure has been altered, leading to loss of their original function. They lose their ability to catalyze reactions efficiently or at all due to changes in their shape or folding. This can be caused by factors such as temperature, pH, or exposure to chemicals.
