Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The environmental factors that affect the activity of an enzyme are commonly referred to as modulators. These factors can either activate or inhibit the enzyme's function. Examples of modulators include temperature, pH, and other molecules that bind to the enzyme to alter its activity.

A) Specificity refers to the ability of an enzyme to recognize and bind to a specific substrate. 
B) Common bond is not a term used in relation to enzyme activity. 
D) Isozymes are different forms of the same enzyme that have slightly different properties and are found in different tissues or organisms. 
E) Product refers to the substance produced by the action of an enzyme on its substrate.
