In an experiment, a student mixed a substrate and an enzyme at varying pH levels and then measured the amount of product produced. Which of the following questions can best be answered from this investigation?
|
|
How do enzymes and substrates interact?
|
|
|
Are enzyme catalyzed reactions reversible?
|
|
|
A. What is the optimum pH of the enzyme being tested?
|
|
|
How does temperature impact enzyme function?
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Effect of pH on Enzymes The rate of enzymatic reaction depends on pH of the medium. Each enzyme has an optimum pH, where the rate of enzymatic reaction is maximum. At higher or lower pH, the rate of an enzymatic reaction decreases.
Detailed explanation-2: -Changes in substrate concentration do not cause the enzyme to denature, but changes in temp & pH may cause enzyme to denature.
