What is the relationship of: a. enzyme and temperature, b. enzyme and pH, and; c. enzyme and substrate type.

Question

What is the relationship of:

a.    enzyme and temperature,

b.    enzyme and pH, and;

c. enzyme and substrate type. 

Answer 1

a. just like the majority of processes in life, when temperature increases then the enzyme activity and rate or reacting increase.

b. individual enzymes function optimally with different pH depending on the localization of the enzyme in the body although a normal range around 7 is where the majority of them thrive.

c. enzymes combine with specific substrates to carry out the reaction. this is supported by the "lock and key" theory
