The acidity affect enzyme reactions in that; The enzymes have an optimal pH, at which their reaction rate is maximized. 
Enzymes speed up the reactions between molecules in cells, and reduce the energy needed to enact the reaction. Very high pH would denature the enzymes as the enzymes work best at an optimum pH and temperature.

Lysozyme which is found in the lysosomes. They function at a relatively low pH and are so because if they functioned at physiological pH they would digest the cell. But in this case, they are in the lysosomes where they are safe and at a lower pH so when the vesicles open they can emit hydrogen ions and the lysozyme to digest the foreign material.

Cross-sectional views of an artery and of a vein are shown here. identify each on the lines
murzikaleks [220]
I believe, for the artery, they have, an open, circular lumen an a thick media
Veins on the other hand, have somewhat collapsed lumen and a thinner media. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood out of the heart to other parts of the body, all arteries carry oxygenated blood except the pulmonary artery which carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. Veins carry blood from other body parts to the heart, all veins carry deoxygenated blood except the pulmonary vein which caries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
