Optimal temperature = 37oC
If it's higher, it would potentially denature the enzyme , causing it to work or not work at all
pH could also denature the enzyme, both increasing or decreasing the pH

Ok the other two are partially right
If you increase temperature you will increase the enzyme activity but there is a limit. Once you reach that limit, the further increase in temperature will end up slowing down the reaction time and kill the enzyme. And usually, decreasing temperature you decrease enzyme activity.
In terms of pH it depends, but usually acids decrease enzyme activity

temperature and pH both can denature the enzyme, which causes it to become inactive.
raising or lowering the pH means you're either increasing or decreasing the amount of H+ ions, respectively. doing so, you disrupt the bonds in the enzyme (protein), which can cause the enzyme to change shape and become inactive. or it can cause the enzyme to completely break apart.

It all depends on the specific enzyme in question. Heat will denature teh enzyme, and change its shape. SInce the function is dependent on the shape, it will lose function. pH also effects this because many of the residues can be protonated or deprotonated, depending on their pKa. This can disrupt hydogen bonds and other non-covalent interactions which would also denature said enzyme

definite, it is authentic. From what i comprehend, if the temperature is extremely severe, it could shrink the pastime of an enzyme and it could reason it to "overheat"; the enzyme will thoroughly cease. For pH, my technology instructor has pronounced it additionally impacts it. wish it helped. :) yet i'm constructive there is going to be a extra robust answer so I recommend you wait.
