Statement I : The activity of an enzyme is pH-dependent. Statement II : A change in pH, affects the solubility of the enzyme in water. |
Both statement I and statement II are correct Both statement I and statement II are incorrect Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect . Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct . |
Both statement I and statement II are correct |
The correct answer is Option (1) –Both statement I and statement II are correct Almost all enzymes are proteins. There are some nucleic acids that behave like enzymes. These are called ribozymes. One can depict an enzyme by a line diagram. An enzyme like any protein has a primary structure, i.e., the amino acid sequence of the protein. An enzyme like any protein has a secondary and tertiary structure. The activity of an enzyme is pH dependent because, with a change in pH, the enzymes are denatured. Change in pH also affects the solubility of enzyme in water.
