Q
What is an enzyme
A
Enzymes are catalysts that break up large chains of chemicals into smaller blocks of chemicals
4
Q
What happens if you change the temperature or Ph of an enzyme
A
If an enzyme gets too hot its bonds will start breaking, this changes the shale of the active site.
If the ph is too high or low it will interfere with the shape of the active site.
In both cases the enzymes become denatured and stop working.
