Most of enzymes are pH-dependent. It means that they maintain their correct folding structure only under certain pH levels. If the pH is different, they will either change conformation thus be non-functional (just like if you change structure of USB port in your PC, it won't work either) or certain electrostatic interactions (or H-bonds) required in active place of the enzyme won't be realizable. The same applies for invertase, most probably.

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 is varied when tested the effect of pH enzyme activity?
The pH is varied to effect, by its affect, this test.
What 2 things can affect enzyme activity?
Temperature.Ph Levels.Specificity.Concentration of enzymes and substrate.Cofactors/co enzymes.Inhibitors.
What would pH changes in extracellular fluid affect cellular plasma membranes first any other part of the cell?
what would ph changes in extracellular fluid affect cellular plasma membranes first any other part of the cell
How do factors such as temperature and pH affect enzyme activity?
By simply afecting the bonds ( hbonds . ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions )
What effect would a higher pH have on the temperatures optimum for invertase?
The temperature optimum can be affected by pH if the pH chosen for a particular experiment deviates from the pH optimum for invertase

How do changes in PH affect the environment?
its acid is gonna affect it
What is the optimum pH of invertase?
50 degrees celsius 50 degrees celsius
How does pH affect plants growth?
becaues the plants will not have room for its root to grow
What is varied when tested the effect of pH enzyme activity?
The pH is varied to effect, by its affect, this test.
Temperature and can affect enzyme activity?
Ph level, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration etc
How does the presence of HCl affect activity of peroxidase?
The optimum pH for activity of Peroxidase is 5-7 that is about neutral. The Hydrochloric acid reduces the pH and thus inactivates the enzyme with reducing pH.
What may affect enzyme activity?
Temperature, pH, salt concentration
Changes in temperature and pH can decrease an enzyme's activity by breaking?
Hydrogen bonds
What is the failure to regulate the pH of the blood can affect the activity of?
enzymes that clot blood
How can changes in pH affect protein and interfere with the body's physiology?
It changes the metabolic functions. The metabolism
