Why was an acid added to the iron II ammonium solution before titration?
To create an acidic medium or in another word made iron (II) ammonium solution more acidic as kmno4 acts as a strong reducing agent only in acid medium.
How is the enzyme catalyze influenced by pH?
All enzymes have a range of pH where they are most effective. Too acidic or too basic environments will cause the enzyme to decrease in effectiveness, potentially stopping the enzyme from functioning all together.
What is the name of an enzyme only acts on one substrate?
Most enzymes are substrate specific because they have a specific shapes active site in which only a specific substrate can fit.
Enzyme found in gastric juices?
the enzyme found in gastric juice is Pepsinogenand it only works in an acidic environment (hydrochloric acid is in the stomach)then when that enzyme gets mixed with the hydrochloric acid it creates pepsin and pepsin breaks down proteins into amino acid chainsthere are also other enzymes like:HClReninPepsinogenGelatinaseGastric AmylaseGastric Lipase
What is relationship between enzyme and pH?
pH is one of major factors that affect the enzyme. Enzymes only work in a specific pH. When a pH of that region is lower or higher than the required pH, it denatures and does not work. An example of this is amylase. Amylase is an enzyme inside a mouth that breaks down carbohydrates. The mouth is slightly basic, and that creates the perfect environment and the perfect pH that amylase works in. When amylase is taken down to the stomach where the pH is very acidic, amylase does not work anymore and the body has to rely on another enzyme that works in a more acidic environment to continue to break the food down.

What is the function of an enzyme?
The function of an enzyme is to increase the rate of a reaction.
Why pepsin required an acidic medium to break down protein?
because Pepsin is only active in an acid medium and is destroyed in an alkaline and neutral medium at room temperature and below
What is a specific enzyme?
A specific enzyme is an enzyme that only changes the speed of ONE reaction. (It only acts on one particular substance that happens to be compatible with that enzyme) i.e. if enzyme A is specific to reaction A, it will change the speed of reaction A. However it will have no effect on any other reaction like reaction B or C.

What is an adaptive enzyme?
An adaptive enzyme is an enzyme which is present in a cell only under conditions where it is clear of adaptive value.
what is a substrate in an enzyme?
A substrate is when the enzyme can only join onto certain substances
Does freezing a enzyme affect it?
When an enzyme is frozen, it only slows down activity. Unlike boiling an enzyme, it does not stop it from working.
