What are some factors that affect enzyme speed?
Substance concentration, enzyme concentration, temperature and PH level
What are some environmental enzyme factors?
Enzymes are catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. Some environmental factors that can affect enzyme activity are temperature and pH levels.
How might very low pH affect an enzyme's hydrogen bonds?
A very low pH can break the hydrogen bonds in an enzyme which causes the shape of the enzyme to change shape making the enzyme unable to do it's job. This is called "denaturation" However some enzymes such as pepsin only work in a low pH (pepsin works best in a pH of about 3) so it does depend on the enzyme.
What are some factors that could impact the function of an enzyme?
This depends on the enzyme. Temperature, pH, and the presence of co-factors, or allosteric inhibitors.
What are some enzyme co factors?
One is cofactor A.
Some medicines work by blocking enzyme activity in pathogens These medicines are effective because they?
have a shape that fits into the enzyme
3 factors that influence the climate of europe?
There are at least three factors that can dramatically affect weather in Europe. Some are, the shape of the land, ocean currents, and El Nino.
What are the different factors that could affect the performance of an enzyme?
Several factors affect the rate at which enzymes work: temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and the presence of any inhibitors or activators.If the amount of the enzyme is kept constant and the substrate is then gradually increased, the reaction speed will increase.The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases as the temperature is raised. But freezing will inactive the enzyme and a very high temperature will destroy the enzyme.Very high or low pH values will result in complete loss of activity for most enzymes.Enzyme inhibitors are substances which alter the action of the enzyme and consequently slow down, or in some cases, stop the reaction.
What influences the rate of enzyme function?
pH, temperature, salt concentration are just some of the factors
What factors affect the rate weathering?
Some factors that affect the rate of weathering are the type of rock, the altitude and the climate.
What are some factors that may influence enzyme activity?
Factors affecting enzyme activity1: Enzyme concentrationIf the quantity of enzyme is doubled, the enzymatic activity will also be doubled because more enzymes are now available to work. After a certain level of enzyme concentration, there will be no more increase in the enzymatic activity because all the substrate molecules are combined with an enzyme and the rate of reaction will stabilize.2: Substrate concentrationBy increasing substrate concentration, enzymatic activity increases. Increasing the substrate further without increasing the enzyme concentration will not affect the enzymatic activity because all the enzymes are occupied by a substrate molecule.3: pH valueSome enzymes require acidic surroundings, most require a more neutral condition for their activity. Change in the pH can change the enzyme's structure and enzyme become useless.4: TemperatureAn increase in temperature of 10 degree celsius doubles the enzymatic activity. Each enzyme has its own optimum temperature at which its enzymatic activity is maximum. Very high temperatures break the bonds that maintain shape of enzyme. If the enzyme denatures, the substrate can not fit in to the active sites and enzyme become useless.
What factors affects salinity?
There are several factors that affect salinity. Some of the main factors include evaporation and precipitation which will affect the salinity of oceans and seas.
