Why are enzymes mixed with vinegar less effective?

Enzymes are sensitive to changes in pH and only work with a relatively small pH range. Since vinegar is an acid, the pH of the solution containing the enzymes is changes when vinegar is added.


What activity level are enzymes affected by?

Enzymes are highly sensitive to changes in temperature and pH. They also can be affected by the presence of specific cofactors or inhibitors that can modulate their activity. Additionally, the substrate concentration can impact the rate at which enzymes function.


What type of detergent do you recommend for sensitive skin that does not contain enzymes?

I recommend using a hypoallergenic detergent that is free of enzymes for sensitive skin.


Why is a high fever dangerous to enzymes?

A high fever can denature enzymes by altering their shape and structure. Enzymes are sensitive to changes in temperature, and a high fever can disrupt the delicate balance needed for enzymes to function properly, leading to decreased enzyme activity and potentially causing harmful effects on various biological processes in the body.


Why is it important that your body carefully control the temperature and pH of its tissues?

Because enzymes (and metabolism in general) are sensitive to changes in temperature and pH and optimized to certain values to properly maintain homeostasis.


What happens if enzymes are not at optimum ph?

Enzyme become denatured.


What can be denatured by changes in temperature or pH?

enzymes


What has an airtight metal chamber that is sensitive to changes is air pressure?

Aneroid barometer is an airtight metal chamber that is sensitive to changes in air pressure


What are ''thermolabile enzymes''?

Thermolabile enzymes are enzymes that are sensitive to heat and can be denatured or destroyed at high temperatures. These enzymes have optimal activity at lower temperatures and are typically found in organisms living in moderate environments. Heating can disrupt the structure of thermolabile enzymes, rendering them nonfunctional.


How pH effects Stability and Activity of Enzymes?

pH can influence the stability and activity of enzymes by affecting their charge and conformation. Enzymes have an optimal pH at which they function most efficiently, and deviations from this pH can lead to denaturation or loss of activity. Changes in pH can disrupt the hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions that stabilize the enzyme's structure, leading to a loss of its catalytic activity.


Are enzymes permanently inactivated by high temperature extremes or are changes in the enzymes reversible?

Enzymes are permanently inactivated by high temperature extremes. They are denatured.
