Answer:
The increase in temperature reflects an increase in the kinetic energy of the molecules, which favors the collision between the enzyme and substrate molecules. If the optimum pH changes, the conformation of the enzyme is altered and the substrate cannot enter its active site.
Explanation:
The relationship between pH and activity depends on the acid-base behavior of the enzyme and the substrate itself. Substrate and enzyme (active center) can contain acidic and basic functional groups, their degree of dissociation being dependent on pH, which will determine, among other aspects, the conformation of the protein, the binding capacity of the substrate to the active center of the enzyme and the transformation capacity of the substrate. The rate of an enzymatic reaction varies with increasing temperature. Such dependence reflects a double effect of temperature: positive at low values, due to the general increase that the speed of any chemical reaction experiences as temperature increases, and negative at high values, due to the thermal denaturation of the enzyme. That is, the speed of an enzymatic reaction increases as the temperature increases within a certain range, reaching a maximum value at the so-called optimal temperature. At higher values the activity decreases because the enzyme, like any other protein, undergoes denaturing processes and, therefore, inactivation.
Homeostasis can be defined as the state of maintenance of the constant internal conditions by the living organisms. The homeostasis is maintained by the body so that it may function properly. The homeostasis will be disturbed by the reduced intake of the food and water. Healthy intake of water and food is essential in maintaining the homeostasis of the body. The elevated or depressed blood pH along with extreme body temperatures will also disturb the homeostasis of the body making the person sick. Moreover, certain infectious organisms also alters the homeostasis of the body.
Hence, all the options are correct.
One reason ecosystem stability is important for life-forms because it creates a habitable environment for life-forms to live in. Such stability is important for an adjoining one because it allows the sphere of influence and boundaries to extend beyond its boundaries. This results in impacting changes to adjoining ecosystems. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
