This card states that extreme blood pH levels denature enzymes by breaking hydrogen bonds, altering the active site, and making metabolic reactions less efficient.
This card explains that excessively high or low blood pH denatures enzymes by breaking hydrogen bonds, changing the active site shape, and making metabolic reactions less efficient.
| Front | Too High or Too low blood pH |
|---|---|
| Back | Enzymes become denatured Hydrogen bonds holding the 3D shape break Shape of active site changed Metabolic reactions less efficient |
