if the envirionment is cold, the reaction rate decreases. if the envirionment is warm, the reaction rate increases. however, if the envirinment is too hot, the enzyme will be denatured. a pH out of the enzyme's optimal range will also denature it. when an enzyme is denatured, it looses its shape a its active site is no longer able to recive the molecule and break it down.

∙ 13y agoThe conditions that effect enzymes are
Ionic conditions, Temperature, and pH levels.
When these 3 conditions are at optimum level
the enzyme functions extremely well.

What conditions affects the function of enzymes?
The activity of an enzyme is affected by temperature, pH and the concentration of the substrate.
What are the two types of protein?
structural proteins and enzymes.
What are enzymes called because they affect the speed of chemical reaction without being consumed?
enzymes are never consumed in a chemical reaction, therefore the answer to your question is that enzymes that affect the speed of a chemical reaction without being consumed are indeed called enzymes.
How does heat affect the enzymes in a chemical reaction?
At excessive temperatures, enzymes usually denature or break down into other molecules, thus failing to preform their specific function.Other than that, heat does not affect enzymes much but it does increase the speed of the reaction.
Normally reactions that depend on enzymes are strongly temperature-dependent. Are the carbon-assimilating steps dependent on enzymes?
The influence of specific enzymes is strongly dependent on environmental conditions.
What conditions affects the function of enzymes?
The activity of an enzyme is affected by temperature, pH and the concentration of the substrate.
What conditions affect the action of an enzyme?
If the enzymes are heated they can become deformed and not work as well.
What conditions can reduce the amount of your enzymes?
Digestive diseases such as celiac disease and tropical sprue (which affect absorption in the intestine), as well as intestinal infections and injuries, can reduce the amount of enzymes produced.
How does substrate concentration and pH affect enzymes?
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
What type of food does enzyme effect?
Different enzymes can affect any types of foods. Generally a particular enzyme participates in one particular chemical reaction. Still, a persons body produces many different types of enzymes.
What can affect enzyme activity?
pH Temperature Substrate Concentration non-ideal conditions will ultimately lead to the denaturing of the enzyme
How pH levels affect enzymes?
It disrupts an enzymes shape and structure.
Can we say that enzymes work in optimum conditions only if yes than why?
No, we cannot say that because most enzymes are not at optimal conditions in nature.
Describe and explain how pH and temperature affect enzyme activity?
Enzymes are temperature bound too high temperature denatures their cells while too low temperatures renders them inactive. The same mechanism applies to pH there are those enzymes that thrive well in acidic conditions while there are those that thrive in basic condition and therefore if the conditions are reversed the enzymes' cells are denatured.
What are two things that can affect the enzymes shape?
Salt concentration and the pH! also the temperature and activations and inhibitors affect an enzymes actions
What are the two types of protein?
structural proteins and enzymes.
How enzymes affect reactions?
Enzymes lower the activation energy required for reactions to occur
