What is the effect of ph and temperature on an enzyme

1 answer:

7 0

Enzymes are affected by the pH and temperature of their environment. For instance, stomach enzymes are meant to function in highly acidic environments. However, other enzymes have different functions, and may thrive in a lower pH. When an enzyme is exposed to a much higher or lower pH than they are made to function at, they become denatured. The same is with temperature. Exposing an enzyme to high temperature can denature it too. Hope this helps! :)

Which of the following describes a relationship of mutualism?

Reika [66]

Oxpecker birds eat parasitic ticks off the backs of zebras is an example of mutualism.
Mutualism is defined as a relationship between organisms in which both the individuals involved are benefitted from each other.
In the case of oxpecker birds and zebras, the oxpecker birds benefit as they get their food from the parasitic ticks living on the zebra and the zebras benefit as the birds help them to get rid of the parasites.
In this way, both these organisms are involved in a mutualistic relationship.
