A scientist observed that, when the pH of the
environment surrounding an enzyme is changed
the rate the enzyme catalyzes a reaction greatly
decreases. Which statement best describes how a
change in pH can affect an enzyme?
A.
B.
C.
D.
A pH change can cause the enzyme to
change its shape
A pH change can remove energy necessary
to activate an enzyme
A pH change can add new molecules to the
structures of the enzyme
A pH change can cause an enzyme to react
with a different substrate.
