Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Which of the following will affect an enzyme’s ability to function? Check all that apply

A	Substrate Concentration
B	pH
C	Temperature
D	salinity

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Salinity decreases many microbial activities such as respiration, nitrogen mineralization and enzyme activities7. An increase in salinity can inhibit the activity of many soil enzymes including dehydrogenase, -glucosidase, urease, protease, alkaline and acid phosphatase, arylsulfatase and argininamide hydrolase8.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Enzymes are suited to function best within a certain temperature, pH, and salt concentration range. In addition to high temperatures, extreme pH and salt concentrations can cause enzymes to denature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Factor # 1. Temperature: Factor # 2. Hydrogen Ion Concentration (pH): Factor # 3. Water: Factor # 4. Concentration of the Substrate: Factor # 5. Enzyme Concentration: Factor # 6. Inhibitors: Factor # 7. Accumulation of End-Products:
