How do pH levels affect enzymes

2 answers:

6 0

Enzymes function best at the normal pH level they were made to be in. Most work best at a neutral pH level (7), but some enzymes such as pepsin (located in the stomach) work best in very acidic pH levels. If the pH level becomes too acidic for the enzyme, it can lead to denaturing of the enzyme's active site.

Enzymes are affected by changes in pH. The most favorable pH value - the point where the enzyme is most active - is known as the optimum pH. Extremely high or low pH values generally result in complete loss of activity for most enzymes.

faust18 [17]

Explanation:

For a man weighing 185 pounds his minimum daily protein requirement is 67.118 g of protein.

Proteins are integral to many bodily functions including cell growth,repair and as an alternative source of energy.

Further Explanation:

Large monomer chains form biological macromolecules that perform many essential body functions, including nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. These are organic molecules, meaning Carbons bonded to the elements oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are ringed or long-chain.

Proteins are structural support molecules consisting of long amino acid chains joined via peptide (CONH) bonds; these are 20 specific units arranged into several macromolecules. Amino acids are absorbed through digestion and incorporated into the cells of the body to form muscle organs that signal molecules and provide an alternative source of energy.

First... convert 185 pounds to kilograms. Pounds (lbs) can be a measure of mass or weight, while Kilograms (kg) are a measure of mass.
1 pound= apprx 0.4535 kilograms. ∴ 185 lbs = 83.8975 kg
Then, find the daily requirement for the person's mass in kg .....................0.8 grams (g) of protein is recommended per kg of body weight. ∴ 0.8 × 83.91 = 67.118 g

Genetic manipulation of a microbe to remove one or more virulence factors is a method for producing a(n) ________ vaccine.

Alecsey [184]

The term that best completes the given statement above is the word ATTENUATED. A method of producing an attenuated vaccine is through genetic manipulation of a microbe to remove one or more virulence factors. The purpose of creating attenuated vaccines is to reduce the effect of a microorganism to the body. Once the body is exposed to the said disease, it will not experience a dreadful effect done by the microorganism.
