Question

value: 20
change in ph or temparature will not denature enzymes.
○ true
○ false
check answer

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteins (or RNA) with specific three - dimensional structures, including the active site. Changes in pH can disrupt the ionic bonds and hydrogen bonds that maintain the enzyme's structure. Changes in temperature (especially extreme temperatures) can also break the weak bonds (like hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces) that hold the enzyme's secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures together. When these structural changes occur, the enzyme loses its specific three - dimensional shape, including the active site, and this process is called denaturation. So a change in pH or temperature can denature enzymes.

Answer:

B. False
