There are two types of polymers, which are natural and synthetic. Although natural polymers do not affect the environment, synthetic polymers do.Synthetic polymers are anything that is manufactured or influenced by humans. Due to this, these types of polymers release reactants which are hazardous; both to humans and the environment.Synthetic polymers, which include plastics, rubber, How do polymers effect the environment?adhesives, and Styrofoam cannot be degraded into the environment, causing a buildup of these chemicals all at once, causing a release of any "excess" chemicals into the environment.From there on, polymers create garbage loads, and chemical reactants that effect the environment, and spread around. Therefore effecting anything grown or eaten around it. This could call chemical poisoning to the greenery, animals, and living organisms around it. Not all polymers are bad. In fact humans are made up of polymers. But polymers from sources such as crude oil synthesized into plastics release toxins as they break down. When you burn plastics synthesized from crude oil feedstock, carbon dioxide and dioxins can be released into the air if smoke is not properly <span>What are the bad effects of polymers on your environment?filtered as they are in high quality waste-to-energy incinerators.

Why does changing the PH of a solution affect the ability of enzymes?
WARRIOR [948]
Enzymes can be denatured by irregular PH. Meaning that they can change shape. Enzymes rely on their shape in order to function so if their shapes change because of the PH then the active sites don't fit anymore and they enzymes wont work.

Secondly, creatine phosphate stores are used up in about 15 seconds only. Thirdly, a cell does not need  oxygen deficit for creatine phosphate to be activated, it just needs to be short on ATP.
