what are two conditions influenceing the ability of an enzyme to function ?

Answer 1

Temperature and pH

Answer 2

The two conditions affecting and enzymes ability to function are temperature and pH. Depending on the enzyme, there will be different optimum heat and pH levels. Pepsin, an enzyme in your stomach works best at acidic pH levels (around 2). If your body gets too cold, too hot, too acidic, or too basic, the enzymes will not funtion properly or may even denature, causing bodily functions to become extremely inefficient (enzymes only help reactions that are already going to occur, occur faster) and you will die.

Answer 3

Yup, for most enzymes the activity is strongly correlated with temperature and pH. pH affects the structure of the enzyme by addition or removal of hydrionium ions H3O+). Temperature affects the rate of the reaction due the the laws of solutions. Also, certain enzymes have cofactors, ie Mg, Mn, Fe as metal co-factors. Finally, many enzymes are regulated by the abundance of the products and substrates.

Amount of enzyme present.
Amount of substrate present

Answer 5
