Under what conditions do enzymes work best?

Biology

Enzymes are very sensitive to temperature and pH.


An enzyme will not function well or at all if it is at the wrong temperature or pH level.  However, there is no set range for all enzymes; every enzyme is different and has their own range.  For example, the pH levels under which stomach enzymes work best would be vastly different from the pH levels under which intestinal enzymes work.


Hope this helps!!

Enzymes work best within specific temperature and pH ranges, and sub-optimal conditions can cause an enzyme to lose its ability to bind to a substrate.

Semen creates a(n)__________ environment for sperm to safely travel through both the male and female reproductive tracts.
Assoli18 [71]

Semen creates a(n)<u>alkaline </u>environment for sperm to safely travel through both the male and female reproductive tracts.

In the field of biology, semen can be described as a white, slippery fluid that is released from the male reproductory organ. Semen is also referred to as the seminal fluid.

The semen of males carries the sperm cells which are required for the fertilization of the female egg. The conditions should be favorable for the process of fertilization to occur.

The natural atmosphere of the vagina of a female is acidic in nature. The sperms need a neutral environment for survival. Hence, the semen is produced alkaline in nature to prolong the lifetime of sperm cells. The alkalinity of the semen neutralizes the acidity of the vagina.

When a bacteriophage virus infects a host cell, sometimes it causes virus nucleic acid to fuse with the DNA of the host cell and
mina [271]

Answer:

lysogenic

Explanation:

Phages can generate the lytic cycle or the lysogenic cycle, although very few are able to carry out both. If lysis is carried out, lysogeny cannot be carried out and vice versa. In the lytic cycle, phage host cells are lysed (destroyed) after replication and encapsulation of viral particles, so that new viruses are free to carry out a new infection.

On the contrary, in the lysogenic cycle there is no immediate lysis of the cell. The phage genome can be integrated into the chromosomal DNA of the host bacterium, replicating at the same time as the bacterium does, or it can remain stable in the form of a plasmid, independently replicating bacterial replication. In any case, the phage genome will be transmitted to the entire progeny of the originally infected bacteria. The phage is thus in a state of latency until the conditions of the environment are deteriorated: decrease of nutrients, increase of mutagenic agents, etc. At this time, endogenous phage or phage are activated and give rise to the lytic cycle that ends with cell lysis.
