Digestive enzymes break down the food we eat into smaller particles. In the mouth, there is salivary amylase which starts the break down of carbohydrates. Next, the stomach has pepsin which starts breaking down proteins. In the small intestine the pancreas releases pancreatic amylase (carbohydrates), trypsin (proteins), and several other important enzymes. Things that may affect the function of these enzymes may be pH and temperature changes. Enzymes can be denatured if they are placed in an unsuitable pH or temperature and therefore are unable to work.

What are the factors that affect the efficiency of the enzyme system?
Maintaining the proper balance will help your system digest enzymes efficiently. If you don't have the right nutrients, your system will not properly digest enzymes.
How does substrate concentration and pH affect enzymes?
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
What are two things that can affect the enzymes shape?
Salt concentration and the pH! also the temperature and activations and inhibitors affect an enzymes actions
How enzymes affect reactions?
Enzymes lower the activation energy required for reactions to occur
The substances on which enzymes act are called co factors?
cofactors
What factors affect an enzymes operation the most?
temperature and pH
What two factors affect an enzymes operation the most?
temperature and pH
What factors that will affect enzymes speed?
there are three factors, but i only know 2: pH temperature
Which term means the study of human factors that affect the design and operation of tool and the work environment?
Ergonomics is a term that refers to the study of human factors that affect the design and operation of tools and the work environment.
What is the study of human factors that affect the design and operation of tools and the work environment?
Ergonomics
What factors affect the activity of enzymes?
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.
How do enzyme factors affect enzyme activity?
Ph level accelerates enzymes and temperature slows the process down
The study of human factors that affect the design and operation of tools and a work environment is known as?
Ergonomics
What are the factors that affect the efficiency of the enzyme system?
Maintaining the proper balance will help your system digest enzymes efficiently. If you don't have the right nutrients, your system will not properly digest enzymes.
How does substrate concentration and pH affect enzymes?
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
What factors affect the rate of reactions of enzymes?
mainly mainly there 41)pH2) temperature3) concentration of enzyme4)concentration of substrate
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.
