All enzymes work at an optimal pH of 7.
Understand the Problem
The question seems to be making a statement about enzymes and their optimal pH level, rather than asking a question that requires an answer. It's implying that all enzymes function best at a pH level of 7.
Answer
False
The final answer is false.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is false.
More Information
While many human enzymes do work optimally at or near pH 7, others such as pepsin work best at much lower pH values. Different enzymes have different optimum pH levels, which align with their specific functional environments in the body.
Tips
A common mistake is to generalize that all enzymes work best at the same pH. Always consider the specific environment and role of each enzyme.
