Question

How would altering the ph of an ecosystem affect the organisms that live there? Relate to enzyme function.
In your response include why slight changes in pH are significant to living things.

Answer 1

Answer:

pH: Each enzyme has an optimum pH range. Changing the pH outside of this range will slow enzyme activity. Extreme pH values can cause enzymes to denature. Enzyme concentration: Increasing enzyme concentration will speed up the reaction, as long as there is substrate available to bind to.
