Answer:

The correct answer is explained below:

Explanation:

Our body requires all form of nutrients, like proteins, carbohydrates, fat, minerals, vitamins, fibre and water.
But all these components need to be consumed in definite and balanced amounts for proper metabolism and development of the body.
Deficiency and excess of each of them can result into the development of a disease condition.
In present day, people prefer to consume those food which are palatable and also the commercial availability of such food items are abundant.
These food items are excessively rich in fat as compared to the other nutrients.
Hence, the diet of the person fails to remain a balanced one.
Because in the society the availability of such fat-rich food that causes eating disorders and obesity is high, people tend to consume them and get affected with the diseases.

Answer:

A- A pH change can cause the enzyme to change its shape

Explanation:

A rise or fall in the pH of the medium from the optimum of pH 7 usually affect the enzymes' active sites of and therefore the shape and the rate of enzyme activity.

Assuming the pH is too low, the enzyme medium becomes acidic;Acidosis. The high Hydrogen ions concentration interacts with the R-groups of the amino acids moiety of the enzymes, this interaction affects the ionization of the R-groups, disrupting the ionic bonding holding these R-groups in shape.

This results in loss of the 3-Dimensional shape arrangements of the protein molecule and therefore of the active sites. Since active sites of enzymes determines the specificity of the enzymes substrate- complex to give enzyme-product complex, the catalytic activity of the enzymes decreases, the rate of reaction decreases,and products formation stops, and the reaction also stops.

The same is applicable to extremely high pH=Alkalosis.

However, the effective buffer system of the body prevents this scenarios from happening in real sense in the body. Through mopping by the haemoglobin, excretion by the kidney, etc
