Partial Question 8 0.17/0.25 pts Which of the following conditions would likely denature the enzyme ß-galactosidase? The addition of an enzyme that breaks down sucrose The addition of lactose Extreme heat The addition of an allosteric inhibitor Very high salt concentration Extreme pH While the time or location within the generally stable lab of an experiment should not change the results, enzyme activity could be affected by any of the conditions in which enzyme structural bonds would be influenced.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:- The enzyme beta galactosidase can be denatured by ;

1.) Extreme heat

2.) very high salt concentration

3.) Extreme pH

Explanation:- Enzymes are thermolabile and undergo breakdown of tertiary structure due high heat thus become non functional. pH and salt concentration also causes denaturation of the enzyme by affecting their tertiary structure.
