|
It determines whether a reaction will be slowed or sped up.
|
|
|
It determines the products that will result from the reaction.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Yes, the shape of the enzyme is crucial to determining the function. Enzymes are specialized proteins that can either build up or break down reactants. The area of the enzyme where the substrate binds is specifically shaped to fit that substrate. If the enzyme is denatured, it cannot bind to the substrate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The environmental factors that affect enzyme shape are temperature, PH level and inhibitors. A high temperature can increase the reaction rate and helps in breaking the chemical bond, which can change the shape of the enzyme.
Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes are folded in GLOBULAR SHAPES.
