Detailed explanation-1: -Each enzyme is specific to a chemical reaction it will affect because each enzyme contains an active site which is an area of an enzyme that has specific shape and size and differs from one enzyme to the another.
Detailed explanation-2: -If the enzyme changes shape, the active site may no longer bind to the appropriate substrate and the rate of reaction will decrease. Dramatic changes to the temperature and pH will eventually cause enzymes to denature.
Detailed explanation-3: -In an enzyme activity, the substrate must bind with the enzyme to become a catalyst of a chemical reaction. And most enzymes are highly specific particularly to the nature of the substrate they bind to. Substrate specificity is one of the most essential distinctive features of enzymes.
