Nan experiment, a scientist notices that an enzyme’s catalytic rate decreases when the ph of the environment is changed. which of the following best summarizes the effect of ph on the enzyme? ph changes the atomic structure of the enzyme. ph changes the ability of them he enzyme to dissolve in water. ph changes the shape of the enzyme. ph takes energy away from the enzyme, thus slowing it down.

1. an enzyme is considered a(n) because it speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up.2. in a catalyzed reaction, a reactant is often called a(n) . an enzyme is specific because the shape of its matches only particular reactants.4. an enzyme speeds up reactions by lowering the . the between an active site and its substrate often strains bonds and the reaction proceed.6. a( , which is often a vitamin, binds to an enzyme and plays a role in catalysis.7. high temperatures or changes in ph can an enzyme, causing it to lose its shape and biological activity.
