There are several things that determine an enzyme's activity. The main determinants include the structure of the enzyme, temperature, pH and so much more.

What activity level are enzymes affected by?
Temperture
What is the effect of phosphorylation on enzyme activity?
Phosphorylated enzymes may be more or less active than non-phosphorylated enzymes
What affect does temperature have on cellular enzyme activity?
Enzymes generally work within a given temperature range. As the temperature is increased the activity will increase. However if the optimum temperature is surpassed, the enzymes will stop working.
How pH effects Stability and Activity of Enzymes?
Enzymes are very pH-sensitive. Any change in pH results in denaturing of proteins.
Why might enzyme's activity decrease at very high temperatures?
Enzymes activity is affected by temperature. At a very high temperature, enzymes became denature that means they lose their original shape, which is important for them to react. Thus, enzyme activity decreases at a very high temperature.
How do enzymes regulate homeostatic processes?
One, by the genetically controlled 'copy number' of the number of individual enzymes available to the cytoplasm; two, by the concentration {or presence} of control factors that determine the activity of individual enzymes; and three, by the presence or absence of various termination factors that determine which Version of an enzyme is to be produced.
Why Extracellular enzyme activity is easier to determine compared to Intracellular enzyme?
It is because extracellular enzymes act under very hostile conditions in nature, so their activity is more resistant than intracellular activity.
Is methanol and pyridine can be used with enzymes without losing their activity?
what i know is enzymes are denatured in organic solvents loosing their activity.
What activity level are enzymes affected by?
Temperture
Tay-Sach's disease is caused by a genetic defect which affects the activity of enzymes?
lysosomal enzymes
Which enviromental factor can change the activity of enzymes?
Temperature
What happens to enzymes at a low pH?
The activity of the enzymes depends on the specific pH needed.
Enzymes have specific what that determine their function?
Shapes
What effect enzymes activity?
Temperature, pH, substrate concentration
How could a change in a polypeptide affect cell activity?
Enzymes are derived from polypeptide chains, enzymes are responsible for adequate cell activity. Therefore, if a polypeptide chain is not properly composed, the enzyme will be dysfunctional, hence leading to a depletion in cell activity.
What is the effect of phosphorylation on enzyme activity?
Phosphorylated enzymes may be more or less active than non-phosphorylated enzymes
What effect does boiling have on enzymic activity?
Boiling usually destroys enzymes.
