An enzyme's function is dependent on its ______.
A) pH
B) temperature
C) shape
D) size

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An enzyme's function is dependent on its shape, specifically its three-dimensional structure. The shape of an enzyme allows it to interact with specific substrates and catalyze chemical reactions. pH and temperature can affect the shape of an enzyme, and thus affect its function, but they are not the primary determining factors. Size is not directly related to enzyme function.
