Questions and Answers

What is the effect of pH and temperature on enzyme action?

  • pH affects the speed of enzyme action, but temperature does not
  • Temperature affects enzyme shape, while pH affects enzyme concentration
  • pH and temperature can alter the shape of the enzyme, affecting its function (correct)
  • pH and temperature have no impact on enzyme action
