Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following factors affect enzyme activity? (Select all that apply ____ )
A
catalyst
B
pH
C
carbohydrates
D
temperature
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzyme activity can be affected by a variety of factors, such as temperature, pH, and concentration. Enzymes work best within specific temperature and pH ranges, and sub-optimal conditions can cause an enzyme to lose its ability to bind to a substrate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Several factors affect the rate at which enzymatic reactions proceed-temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and the presence of any inhibitors or activators.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzyme activity is affected by a number of factors including the concentration of the enzyme, the concentration of the substrate, the temperature, the pH, and the salt concentration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each enzyme has a temperature range in which a maximal rate of reaction is achieved. This maximum is known as the temperature optimum of the enzyme. The optimum temperature for most enzymes is about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius). There are also enzymes that work well at lower and higher temperatures.
