Various enzymes function most efficiently under different sets of “optimal” conditions. explain why this is the case.

An enzyme is protein and it needs to maintain its 3D structure as the enzyme work like "lock and key". A little deformation to the enzyme structure can disable its functions.
Protein is prone to denaturation. Condition like pH and temperature can affect the protein and cause an alteration to its structure. Higher temperature should speed up the reaction but too high temperature might damage the enzyme. So, the "optimal" condition would be the condition where the enzyme structure is not altered.

In the initiation of muscle contraction calcium ions bind to tropomyosin exposing active sites on actin for crossbridge formatio

Anit [1.1K]

This statement is true. To be more specific, the calcium ions bind to the troponin, which are attached to the protein tropomyosin. The tropomyosin then to shifts to expose the actin filaments to which myosin heads need to bind to produce contraction.
