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 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 are enzymes and how do they affect the reaction of things?
enzymes as described by my bio teacher do "chores" in the body, when something needs to be done, our body uses enzymes. you can recognize enzymes by looking for the suffix (ase) at the end of a word. An example of an enzyme and its use is Helicase, which unwinds DNA strands at the beginning of transcription.
What is true about the most reactants in living things?
Enzymes that help them react do not work at normal body temperatures
Enzymes work most effectively at?
Enzymes work most effectively when they are at their optimal temperature and pH.
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 conditions affect the action of an enzyme?
If the enzymes are heated they can become deformed and not work as well.
How do enzymes affect your heart?
Enzymes are important for proper heart function. If heart muscle is damaged, the enzyme levels rise, and this can be seen in blood work.

By what mechanism do enzymes work?
Enzymes work in a variety of different ways. When a molecule of a correct chemical comes along it will fit exactly into the shape. This is called the active site of the enzyme because this is where the reaction takes place.
Are pH level and enzymes related?
Yes, pH level can affect the activity of enzymes. Enzymes have an optimal pH at which they function most efficiently, and deviations from this pH can decrease enzyme activity. Changes in pH can affect the enzyme's structure and alter the interactions between the enzyme and its substrate.
What is true about reactants in living things?
Enzymes that help them react do not work at normal body temperatures
What are four things that can affect the way enzymes work?
Temperature: Enzymes have an optimal temperature range, and deviations from this range can affect their activity. pH: Enzymes function best within a specific pH range, and changes in pH can disrupt their structure and function. Substrate concentration: Enzyme activity is influenced by the concentration of the substrate available for binding. Inhibitors: Molecules that bind to enzymes can either inhibit or enhance their activity, affecting their function.

Are enzyme's catalysts?
Catalyst work in non living things while enzyme work inside living things. They are not catalyst but instead they can be called biocatalysts. Hope it helps.
