Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -All enzymes have an ideal pH value, which is called optimal pH. Under the optimum pH conditions, each enzyme showed the maximum activity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each enzyme works within quite a small pH range. There is a pH at which its activity is greatest (the optimal pH). This is because changes in pH can make and break intra-and intermolecular bonds, changing the shape of the enzyme and, therefore, its effectiveness.
