use the 2 graphs below to answer questions 10 & 11.
graphs: temperature vs enzyme activity, ph vs enzyme activity
- what is the optimal ph that this enzyme functions at? __________
- what is the optimal temperature that this enzyme functions at? ________
- what happens when the ph is 2? __________
use the below graph to answer questions 10-12
graph: ph vs relative rate of activity for gastric protease and intestinal protease
- what is the optimal ph for intestinal protease? ______
- what is the optimal ph for gastric protease? ______
- which enzyme works best in a very acidic environment? (circle your answer) gastric protease
intestinal protease
true or false:
- enzymes are alive.
- enzymes are found in all living things.
- denatured enzymes do not work.
- a small change in temperature will denature an enzyme.
- all enzymes in the human body work at the same ph level.
- in the induced fit model of an enzyme the active site will wrap around the substrate.
- enzymes are catalysts.
- all proteins are enzymes.
Question 6
Enzyme activity is affected by environmental factors. Temperature affects the kinetic energy of enzyme and substrate molecules, and pH affects the enzyme's active site structure. Two common environmental conditions are temperature and pH (other valid ones could be substrate concentration, inhibitor presence, but temperature and pH are fundamental and common for this question).
The optimal pH of an enzyme is where its activity is highest, seen at the peak of the pH - enzyme activity graph. From the second graph (pH vs Relative Rate of Enzyme Action), the peak is at pH 8.
Optimal temperature is where enzyme activity is maximum, at the peak of the temperature - enzyme activity graph. The first graph (temperature vs Relative Rate of Enzyme Action) has a peak at 40°C.
