How do extreme pH and temperature extremes affect enzymes?
Enzymes operate best under a tight, optimal range of pH values. Extreme pH can seriously affect enzyme activity, so it is little wonder that big changes in pH can slow down enzyme activity. Extreme changes can often irreversibly inactivate and denature an enzyme.
What does pH meter actually mean?
The pH is the level of acid or base. If too acidic, or too alkali, the meter will move to one extreme or the other. Mid-range is more balanced between the two extremes.
What are the extreme points in numbers on the pH scale?
The extreme points are now 0 and 14.
A solution with a pH above 7 is?
A pH level of 7 is neutral. Acidic solutions have pH values less than 7. Basic solutions have pH values higher than 7......so your answer is... it is a BASE
What range of values in pH does an acidophile prefer?
Acidophiles do best in an environment with a pH of 3 or less.
What is it called when extreme conditions like temperatures and extreme pH values changes the shape of an enzyme?
Danze16
What is called when extreme conditions like high temperature and extreme Ph values change the shape of an enzyme?
Danze16
How can humans tolerate the extreme pH values of many food and beverage products you consume?
buffers, they help bases and acids to become weak bases and acids. (making the pH not so extreme)

What are the pH values of acids Bases?
Acids have pH values below 7.0. Bases have values above 7.0.
What happens when the pH level of a swimming pool is 6.8 and you have people in the pool?
It may irritate your skin and in extreme cases cause blindness. Any pH between 6 and 9 will be okay to swim in but 7.2 is optimum. Measure it with an OTO test kit and add a little muriatic acid if the pH is too high.
What happens if too much baking soda is put in pool?
The pH increases, as will the alkalinity.
What is the pH of the strongest base on pH values?
14
What is the range of pH?
The range of pH values is 0 - 14.
What values on the pH scale represent bases?
Bases are repestented by values greater than 7 on the pH scale.
What if you drink a bottle of vinegar?
If you drink too much it will lower the pH and the electrolytes in your blood. You will get nausea and abdominal pain and extreme acidity can kill you.
