How does a change in pH above or below optimal pH affect enzyme function?

A. No change
B. Reaction happens faster
C. Enzyme dies
D. Enzyme denatures

Explanation:

Extreme temperatures or pH can denature enzymes.

Enzymes have a very special and specific shape that determines which substrate they can act on. If the pH changes too dramatically, then the peptide bonds holding the amino acids of the enzyme together break.

When the bonds break, the enzyme loses its shape and it cannot function anymore.

So, there is a change, the reaction doesn't happen faster or die. We can eliminate choices A, B, and C. The correct choice is D. enzyme denatures

a. seed plant structure. 1. the three main plant organs are roots, stems, and leaves. a fourth kind of tissue, meristematic tissue, is responsible for plant growth. meristematic tissue is the only plant tissue that produces new cells by mitosis. plants can lose water out of their leaves as they exchange gases with the air
