Chapter 4 Enzymes - Worksheet

This document is a secondary school tutorial worksheet on enzymes. It contains questions about enzymes' roles as biological catalysts, their optimal temperature range, protein nature, and substrate specificity. Graphs depict the effect of temperature and pH on enzyme activity, with one showing a peak and then decline beyond an optimum temperature. A table is to be completed about the pH levels in different digestive organs and the enzymes that function best in each.
