a. Depending on the organism, the optimal pH for enolase to catalyze its reaction is between 6.5 and 8.0. Describe how a pH below or above this range is likely to affect enolase and its catalytic ability. a) A pH below the range will affect the enolase and its catalytic ability to slow down because it doesn't have high enough temperature to for the enzyme to be used and grow within the yeast or cell. However, it will most likely be better for Saccharomyces cerevisiae because it grows best at lower temperatures which means lower pH. As well as a pH above the range will allow the enolase and catalytic ability to increase and allow Chloroflexus aurantiacus to grow a lot faster since it requires higher temperature or high pH levels. If the pH is extremely too high than it can probably cause the enzyme to burst, as well as ig the pH is too low it can cause it to shrivel up. a. Reread the question above and analyze the work. Explain how the response above could be improved or why this student lost credit.
