Question

How can temperature and pH affect enzymes?

Answer 1

Because 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. Temperature: Raising temperature generally speeds up a reaction, and lowering temperature slows down a reaction. ... Extreme pH values can cause enzymes to denature

Answer 2

raising temperature generally speeds up a reaction, and lowering temperature slows down a reaction. extreme pH values can cause enzymes to denature.

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.
