Question

5. Enzymes are designed to function best at a very narrow and specific pH range. This concept is illustrated in the granbelow.Which statement best explains the reduction in enzymes activity when the environment pH is less than four?A. The enzyme is unstable and is broken down by the chemical reactionB. The enzyme is inhibited from being produced by the chemical reactionC. The enzyme is prevented from becoming a product of the chemical reactionD. The enzyme is unable to lower the activation energy of the chemical reaction

Answer 1

The statement that best explains the reduction in enzymes activity when the environment pH is less than four is that the enzyme is unable to lower the activation energy of the chemical reaction (option D).
