4 0

Answer:

The change in PH not only effect the shape of enzymes, but it may also change properties the of substrate so that that substrate cannot control to bind the active site and it cannot undergo catalysis.

In general enzymes have a PH optimum. However this optimum is not same for each enzyme.

Explanation:

For Example; The enzyme pepsin is most active at an acidic PH, Whereas the enzyme trypsin performs best at slightly alkaline PH. the increase or decrease in PH can change the concentration of ion in a solution

The presence of an appropriate enzyme affects only the __________.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer;

-The rate of the reaction;

The presence of an enzyme affects only the rate of the reaction.

Explanation;

-Enzymes are biological catalysts. Catalysts lower the activation energy for reactions. The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.

-Additionally, the rate of a chemical reaction increases as the substrate concentration increases. Enzymes can greatly speed up the rate of a reaction. However, enzymes become saturated when the substrate concentration is high.
