Answer:

Enzymes work best within specific temperature and pH ranges, and sub-optimal conditions can cause an enzyme to lose its ability to bind to a substrate. Temperature: Raising temperature generally speeds up a reaction, and lowering temperature slows down a reaction. ... Extreme pH values can cause enzymes to denature.

Answer:

Enzyme activity can be affected by a variety of factors, such as temperature, pH, and concentration. ... However, extreme high temperatures can cause an enzyme to lose its shape (denature) and stop working. pH: Each enzyme has an optimum pH range. Changing the pH outside of this range will slow enzyme activity

Explanation:

pH affect enzyme:

Enzymes are also sensitive to pH . Changing the pH of its surroundings will also change the shape of the active site of an enzyme. ... This contributes to the folding of the enzyme molecule, its shape, and the shape of the active site. Changing the pH will affect the charges on the amino acid molecules.

temperature affect enzyme:

As with many chemical reactions, the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction increases as the temperature increases. However, at high temperatures the rate decreases again because the enzyme becomes denatured and can no longer function. ... As the temperature increases so does the rate of enzyme activity.
