Effect Of Environmental Factors On Enzymes

Enzymes are a major role in the process of accelerating chemical reactions. Environmental factors affect the enzymes, These environmental factors include ph levels and body temperature. While both of these environmental factors affect the enzyme, body temperature affects the enzymes the most and can result in death. Enzymes are affected by high body temperature. Enzymes are highly specific and they work at certain temperature levels depending if it’s hot or cold. However, when the enzymes exceed the optimal point, it starts to denature which breaks down the enzyme and is no longer useful. This is detrimental because, without the enzyme, the substrate won’t have any other enzyme to fit perfectly to one another. High
