What 4 things affect the ways enzymes work?
specificity, temp, ph, inhibitors
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 effect of extreme change in pH on enzyme activity?
Enzymes are picky with pH levels, as they are with every thing else. They have an optimal level at which they work the best, and anything above or below that level, their activity begins to slow down until they shut down all together. (Which is referred to as denaturing the enzyme) As an example, salivary amylase requires a pH of around 7. Since salivary amylase is located in your mouth, the pH in its environment is perfect, but if you were to swallow the enzymes and they were to arrive in your stomach (which has a pH of around 2) the enzyme would be denatured and would no longer work. Don't become confused like I was when I first learned this though, each enzyme requires its own pH level. While salivary amylase becomes denatured at a pH level of 2, pepsin thrives at that level.
What is the pH of orange and lemon when enter the body?
An Orange is around 3 to 4, and a Lemon is around 2.0. It varies between batches of fruit. The more Sour it is the lower the pH.
What is the pH of dried cranberries?
the pH of cranberries is 4.
What 4 things affect the ways enzymes work?
specificity, temp, ph, inhibitors
What are 3 characteristics of enzymes?
Temperature/pH/Substrate Concentrate and Inhibitors
How long is sperm active?
In the body 4-6 days. Outside the body 5 minutes.

How much stronger is pH 9 than pH 4?
pH 9 - pH 4 = pH 5 It is stronger by 5 pH.

What pH solutions in used to make a pH of 4?
Tomato juice is roughly a pH of 4
Why can't the human body break down cellulose?
Most animals lack enzymes to break beta1-4 linkages
How does a pH of 3 differ from a pH of 4?
A pH of 3 is more acidic than a pH of 4 and a pH of 4 is more alkaline than a pH of 3. The pH balance of a swimming pool is about 7.6 meaning it is neither acidic or alkalinic, it is neutral!
Some factors that may influence enzyme activity?
A low temperature can slow down enzyme activity and high temperatures can denature an enzyme making it unusable. pH levels also affect enzyme activity. Every cell has an ideal temperature and pH
What is the pH of orange and lemon when enter the body?
An Orange is around 3 to 4, and a Lemon is around 2.0. It varies between batches of fruit. The more Sour it is the lower the pH.
What would be the nature of solutions with pH of 4 and 12?
pH 4 = acid pH 12= base
