Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The conditions for an enzyme to work need to be ____
A
specific
B
normal
C
variable
D
don’t matter
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each enzyme has an ideal temperature and pH: pH: Enzymes are sensitive to acidity and alkalinity. They don’t work properly if an environment is too acidic or basic. For example, an enzyme in the stomach called pepsin breaks down proteins.

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: -Enzyme specificity is essential because it keeps separate the many pathways, involving hundreds of enzymes, that function during metabolism. Not all enzymes are highly specific.
