ENZYMES are altered ( used up ) during the reaction? TURE OR FALSE
FALSE
Enzymes are capable of catalyzing the same reaction again and again without being altered ? TRUE OR FALSE

Function of an enzyme can be affected by several factors such as?
- pH
2.Temperature - Specifity
- Cofactor necessity
Enzymes function best when they operates within optimal enviromental conditions such as?
specific pH and temperature
As temperature increase the reaction rate will increase then decrease this is the definition of?
