What conditions are most favourable for enzyme function in the management of waste?
Conditions
pH
basic
neutral
acidic
Universal indicator
Temperature
Thermometer
Salinity of Environment
Presence of Inhibitors
competitive
non-competitive
Substrate Concentration
Enzyme Concentration
Favourable
resource efficient
reaction can occur without too many resources
the reaction can be induced with the resources provided
time efficient
How fast the reaction occurs
Optimum Conditions
cost efficient
Enzymes
Enzyme Function
