Question

A student is studying how environmental factors change the structure and function of enzymes. The student isolates a digestive enzyme that breaks down starches. Which of these steps would MOST LIKELY cause a breakdown of the enzyme's structure?
a.) adding water to decrease the concentration of the enzyme
b.) adding an acid to decrease the pH of the enzyme solution
c.) adding starch to increase the concentration of the reactant
d.) adding ice to decrease the temperature of the enzyme solution

Answer 1

adding an acid to decrease the pH of the enzyme solution will change their native conformation and render them useless.

Answer 2

OMG thank u so much

Answer 3

no problem !
