Question

enzymes have optimal ph ranges. for example, pepsin in the stomach works best at a ph 2. if an enzyme is exposed to an environment with a much higher or lower ph value, outside the optimal range, the enzyme could

o a denature, and no longer function
o b rapidly decrease the concentration of substrate
o c become more effective
o d increase its rate of reaction

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteins with optimal pH ranges. Extreme pH outside this range disrupts their structure (denaturation), leading to loss of function.

Answer:

a. denature, and no longer function
