Detailed explanation-1: -Enzyme activity is at its maximum value at the optimum pH. As the pH value is increased above or decreased below the optimum pH the enzyme activity decreases.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the temperature is increased enzyme activity increases to a maximum value at the optimum temperature (around 37 oC for most human enzymes). As the temperature is increased above the optimum temperature enzyme activity decreases.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most enzyme functions are performed at 37∘C in humans because the enzymes are able to retain its structure at that temperature, allowing it to break down complex molecules efficiently.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Enzymes are a special class of proteins, which are responsible for catalyzing chemical reactions. Enzymes have a well-defined structure and shape. Therefore, if the optimum temperature of an enzyme is 37° celsius, and the temperature is increased to 50 degrees Celsius the enzyme will denature.
