Everything from the weather to the temperature of a room, it all effects how your body releases the enzymes to make your body warmer or cooler or hard or softer. They are minute subtle changes but its enough to somewhat shield you from extreme conditions.
^^^ WHAT THE HECK ARE U TALKING ABOUT??! crazy dipsh*t... ok so environmental factors that affect enzyme activity are typically PH (level of acidity), temperature, heat, and concentration of substrate (substance that an enzyme works on)... PH and temperature at a convenient level for the enzyme tend to increase the activity, but at an extreme level can denature them (they unfold and become useless). Heat at higher levels also tends to denature them, and the concentration of a substrate at a high level increases activity and at a low level decreases activity.
btw, the person who wrote the first answer is very annoying and does not know what the f**k they are talking about :)
Shape of an enzyme specifically shape of its active site determines enzyme specificity .
When a regulatory molecule binds to an enzyme, it can cause a conformational change in the enzyme's active site, either activating or inhibiting its function. This change in shape can affect the enzyme's ability to bind substrate molecules and catalyze reactions. Regulatory molecules can help control enzyme activity in response to cellular signals or changes in the environment.
Enymes can change shape when it denatures. An enzyme can denature if it's not at the pH or temperature that it's used to. A denatured enzyme can no longer function (an enzyme's funcion: to speed up/cause chemical reactions fast enough for a living thing to survive).
Proteins change shape as temperatures change. Because so much of an enzyme's activity is based on its shape, temperature changes can mess up the process and the enzyme won't work. High enough temperatures will cause the enzyme to denature and have its structure start to break up.
Denaturation caused by high temperatures or extreme pH levels can change the shape of an enzyme, disrupting its active site and preventing it from binding to its substrate effectively. Additionally, the presence of inhibitors or competitive molecules can also alter the enzyme's shape, leading to a reduction or loss of enzyme activity.
What an enzyme does is based on its shape, therefore you would have to change it on a molecular level in order to alter its job.
The shape of the enzyme must match the shape of the substrate. ... Higher temperature generally causes more collisions among the molecules and therefore ... bonding within the protein molecule change and the molecule changes shape.Can cause the enzyme to change shape? If you mean What causes it to change shape, mainly it's heat.
An enzyme is called a denatured enzyme once it changes its shape.
The term for an enzyme's shape changing so it can no longer work is denaturation. This can be caused by factors such as high temperature, extreme pH, or exposure to certain chemicals. Once denatured, the enzyme loses its specific shape and can no longer function properly.
An enzyme becomes denatured when: A) the temperature exceeds the optimum temperature for that enzyme (ie the temperature that it works best at) B) the pH of the surrounding of the enzyme is too low or too high for the optimum pH for that enzyme. When enzymes are heated up too much they vibrate so vigorously that the bonds holding the protein structure in its specific shape becomes broken. The enzyme shape changes and the substrate no longer fits in to the active site. An enzyme which has become denatured is permanently inactive and will take no further part in reactions.
Locamotion, cell movement, biosynthesis
A noncompetitive enzyme inhibitor works by binding to the enzyme at a site other than the active site, causing a change in the enzyme's shape. This change makes it harder for the substrate to bind to the enzyme, reducing its activity.
Genetic and environmental factors shape us as individuals.

keep other environmental factors same.d
