Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The proteins in enzymes are usually globular. The intra and intermolecular bonds that hold proteins in their secondary and tertiary structures are disrupted by changes in temperature and pH. This affects shapes and so the catalytic activity of an enzyme is pH and temperature sensitive.
