Enzymes work best in the pH and temperature that they are " designed " for. A pepsin enzyme works best in the low pH environment of the stomach, while amylase works best at mouth temperature and ~ 7 pH. Heat and out of range pH can denature enzymes and not only affect their activity but inactivate them.

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.
What are the factors which control respiration?
chemical factors in the blood
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 are all of the factors that affect enzyme activity except for temperature and pH?
There are a number of factors that can influence how efficiently a certain enzyme can catalyse a reaction: the amount of substrate present, whether there are chemicals present that inhibit enzymes by either binding to their active site or cofactor site, the amount of enzymes present...
How does pH affect enzyme activity Use the enzymes pepsin and trypsin as examples?
Enzymes work within a range of pH levels. Pepsin, which is found in the stomach works in an acidic environment, while trypsin functions in a basic surrounding in the intestines. Increasing or decreasing the pH levels can stop the activity of these enzymes.
How do enzyme factors affect enzyme activity?
Ph level accelerates enzymes and temperature slows the process down
What are some environmental enzyme factors?

How does acid rain affect enzyme activity?
The enzymes become denatured
What factors affect an enzymes operation the most?
temperature and pH
What is the failure to regulate the pH of the blood can affect the activity of?
enzymes that clot blood
What are the factors which control respiration?
chemical factors in the blood
What factors that will affect enzymes speed?
there are three factors, but i only know 2: pH temperature
What two factors affect an enzymes operation the most?
temperature and pH
What environment factors can affect the activity of an enzyme?
temperature

How does pH affect plants growth?
becaues the plants will not have room for its root to grow
