What is the true relationship between pH and enzyme action?
The enzyme has an optimal point of pH at which the enzyme works best. For example a catalase enzyme works best in a pH of 7. When the pH changes it denatures the enzyme causing it to not be able to react with the substrate.
How does temperature and pH affect amylase activity and why?
Anylase works best in a slightly basic pH so a very acidic pH will denaturate the enzyme making it unable to do it's job.Effects of pHEnzymes are affected by changes in pH. The most favorable pH value - the point where the enzyme is most active - is known as the optimum pH.Extremely high or low pH values generally result in complete loss of activity for most enzymes. pH is also a factor in the stability of enzymes. As with activity, for each enzyme there is also a region of pH optimal stability.In addition to temperature and pH there are other factors, such as ionic strength, which can affect the enzymatic reaction. Each of these physical and chemical parameters must be considered and optimized in order for an enzymatic reaction to be accurate and reproducible.Hope this helps ;)
What factors affect the rate of enzyme activity?
-Heat, temperature, &pHtemperature, pH level, concentration of enzyme, concentration of substrate( my sec.1 science book)
Temperature and can affect enzyme activity?
Ph level, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration etc
What are the optimum temperature and the optimum pH of an enzyme?
Every enzyme works at its maximum rate at a specific temprature called as optimum temprature for that enzyme. AND all enzymes work at their maximum rate at narrow range of pH, called as optimum pH. A slight increase or decrease in pH causes the retardation in enzyme activity or blocks it completely.
Can you digest starch?
Pepsin does not digest. It breaks down proteins into amino acids. Pepsin cannot break down starch. This is probably because the pH of starch is higher than the optimum pH of Pepsin.
Which enzyme will digest protein if pH is 1.6?
protease will digest protein
How will the time taken for starch to digested in amylase be affected by the temperature?
investigate the relationship between reaction temperature and the effectiveness of the Enzyme amalayse on starch
Do all enzymes perform optimally at the pH 7?
An enzyme's optimum pH is the pH (that is, degree of acidity of alkalinity) that the enzyme catalyses reactions fastest at. If the pH varies too much from the optimum, the enzyme becomes denatured and cannot catalyse reactions any more.
What is the true relationship between pH and enzyme action?
The enzyme has an optimal point of pH at which the enzyme works best. For example a catalase enzyme works best in a pH of 7. When the pH changes it denatures the enzyme causing it to not be able to react with the substrate.
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.
Is there any Procedure in enzyme and factors that affect enzyme activity?
pH, temperature, substrate concentration and enzyme concentration influences the rate of reaction
What edible substances dissolve in saliva?
Starch will begin to be broken down into simpler polysaccharide molecules by salivary amylase. The enzyme lipase is also present in saliva but is usually inactive at the pH of saliva (around pH 6.2) and consequently will not act upon lipids (fats and oils) until it reaches the stomach where the pH is lower (and nearer to the enzyme's optimum PH.)

What does the enzyme protein digest?
The general term is "proteases" Pepsin cleaves at the "n" terminus produced by the stomach and works in an acidic pH environment. Chymotrypsin and Trypsin are produced by the pancreas which is below the stomach and work in a more basic pH environment.
Can Saliva is acidic or basic?
The pH range of the mouth is 5.6-6.9 slightly acidic, this is the environment in which human amylase (starch breakdown enzyme) is most active.
What is the effect of pH upon the relative enzyme activity?
Different enzymes work best at different pH. This is refered to as the ideal pH for the enzyme. For example, the digestive enzyme trypsin works best at an acidic pH while alkaline phosphatase works best at a basic pH. Therefore, enzyme activity varies with pH and this variation depends on the enzyme being studied
