Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
Biology · Secondary 3 · Medium · Effect of temperature and pH on enzymes
Trypsin is a protease that works best at pH 8. A sample of trypsin is placed in a solution at pH 3. How will this low pH affect the rate of reaction?
- The rate decreases greatly because the enzyme is denatured.
- The rate increases because more collisions occur at low pH.
- The rate stays the same because pH does not affect enzymes.
- The rate increases slightly because the substrate is more active.
