Question

how might changing the ph of an enzymes natural environment affect its function? the chemical reaction would require less energy the chemical reaction would not be affected the chemical reaction would speed up the chemical reaction would slow down or stop enzyme as catalyst products substrate (reactant) enzyme enzyme - substrate complex enzyme + product substrate enters active site of the enzyme chemical reaction is triggered by the enzyme enzyme releases the products

Explanation:

Enzymes have an optimal pH range for activity. Deviating from this range can denature the enzyme, altering its shape and active - site structure. This impairs the enzyme's ability to bind to the substrate and catalyze the reaction, thus slowing it down or stopping it.

Answer:

the chemical reaction would slow down or stop
