Answer:

Temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

Raising temperature generally speeds up a reaction, and lowering temperature slows down a reaction. However, extreme high temperatures can cause an enzyme to lose its shape (denature) and stop working. pH: Each enzyme has an optimum pH range. Extreme pH values can cause enzymes to denature.
