Options missing:
a) The pH of the environment should be relatively high.
b) The pH of the environment should be relatively low.
c) The pH of the environment would not matter.
d) The environment should be set to the biochemical standard state.
Answer:
a) The pH of the environment should be relatively high.
Explanation:
For optimal function an enzyme needs a certain environment or condition. As temperature increases, the rate of enzyme activity also increases. As temperature increases toward its optimum point of 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 F), hydrogen bonds relax and make it easier for the hydrogen peroxide molecules to bind to the catalase.
The part of the enzyme where this reaction takes place is called the active site. A temperature that is higher or lower than this optimum point changes the shape of the active site and stops the enzyme from working. This process is called denaturation.
Enzyme pH levels also change the shape of the active site and affect the rate of enzyme activity. Each enzyme has its own optimal range of pH in which it works most effectively. In humans, catalase works only between pH 7 and pH 11. If the pH level is lower than 7 or higher than 11, the enzyme becomes denaturated and loses its structure. The liver sustains a neutral pH of about 7, which creates the best environment for catalase and other enzymes.
General acid catalysis would require histidine to be protonated at pH values (pH 8.0) optimal for enzymatic activity which is relatively high.
Hey there,
The answer is Hydrosphere.
Hope this helps :))

The correct answer is C. Virus.
Virus falls on the gray area which is between nonliving and living things.
Virus is referred to as the small infectious agent which replicates only inside the living cells. Virus can infect life forms plants and animals and microorganisms, for example, archaea and bacteria.
They live in form of independent particles which are referred to as virions. Some viruses can evolve from plasmids.
Answer:
3. Homeostasis
Explanation:
The state where our bodies maintain an internal equilibrium is called homeostasis.This process ensures biological systems keep on being stable while adjusting to changing conditions which are essential for survival.Homeostasis involves many chemical reactions for example, body hormones should be synthesized to breakdown other molecules; energy molecule called adenosine triphosphate is broken down to adenosine diphosphate to release energy that is used my enzymes in the body to break /build molecules
