Question

1. what are the 2 factors that could denature an enzyme? 8. what does it mean when an enzyme becomes denatured?

Explanation:

1. Temperature and pH are common factors. High or low temperatures can disrupt enzyme - protein structure. Extreme pH levels can also affect the ionic and hydrogen bonds in the enzyme.
2. When an enzyme is denatured, its three - dimensional structure is disrupted. This leads to a loss of its active - site shape, preventing it from binding to its substrate effectively and thus reducing or eliminating its catalytic activity.

Answer:

1. Temperature, pH
2. The three - dimensional structure of the enzyme is disrupted, losing its catalytic activity.
