|
all of the above affect enzyme function
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer: The factor which does NOT affect enzyme activity is d. Free Energy. The enzyme’s activity varies with the changing physical conditions.
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: -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:
