What happen to enzyme when it is placed with a concentrated acid?
Enzymes work well in pH 7. So when an enzyme is placed with a concentrated acid its ability to break down food molecules will be increased, thus breaking down the food better. This acid is produced by the stomach and is later neutralised by bile and made into an alkaline to be passed onto the smaller intestine, as it works best in alkaline conditions.
What factors affect the operation of enzymes and why?
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. Hailey Amstrong
What would most likely happen to a onion cell of it were placed in a liquid with a concentration of solutes?
In a hypotonic environment, an onion cell will fill up with water. Hypotonic refers to a solution that has lower osmotic pressure than the solution you're comparing it to.
When enzymes are placed in extreme pH or temperature conditions they unwind and change shape This is called what?
The enzyme 'denatures'

What will happen if an object that is the same density of water is placed in it?
Most likely, the object will be suspended, that is, stay in the middle of the water.
What would most likely happen to an onion cell if it were placed in a liquid with an high concentration of solutes?
The cell will lose water and shrivel.
