How do pH levels affect enzymes

Biology

slamgirl [31]3 years ago

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.

Acids are also agents of chemical weathering and cause more chemical weathering than pure water does.

Codominance occurs when a recessive gene overpowers a dominant gene. there is an exact compromise between two genes. a dominant
AveGali [126]
The correct answer there is an exact compromise between two genes (alleles). <span>The codominance is a form of dominance when the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are both fully expressed. As a result of this, offspring have a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive. Example of codominance is found in ABO blood types. When you have allele Ia and allele Ib the expressed blood type is AB.</span>
