Answer:
4. D (enzymes 1 and 3 works equally well in an acidic and alkaline environment respectively)
5. C. 2; 7; 9.5
Explanation:
The image attached to this question shows a graphical representation of the pH ranges for three enzymes. According to the image;
- Enzyme 1 reached its peak reaction rate at pH 2 (acidic)
- Enzyme 2 reached its peak reaction rate at pH 7 (neutral)
- Enzyme 3 reached its peak reaction rate at pH 9.5 (basic)
This result means that enzymes 1, 2 and 3 will work well and effectively at an acidic, neutral and alkaline environment respectively. Likewise, the optimal pH level for enzymes 1, 2 and 3 are 2; 7; and 9.5 respectively.
