7588834487Roles enzymes play in living thingsenzymes speed up reactions, lower activation energy, and they are reusable29
7588850248Factors that affect enzyme activitypH (high acidity is what enzymes need), high temperatures (stop reactions), high concentrations of enzymes and/or substrates (speed up reaction), and presence of inhibitors (may affect the enzymes activity)30
7588901431does stomach enzyme pepsin which begins protein digestions work best under acidic conditions or not?yes, enzymes work better under high pH levels, whereas catalase would stop working at this level of enzyme31
