Males are heavier than females; males weigh 794 to 1,323 pounds (360 to 600 kilograms), while females weigh 595 to 882 pounds (270 to 400 kg), according to the National Museum of Natural History. Moose have short tails, a hump on their shoulders and large ears that can rotate to give them stereophonic hearing.
The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The higher the hydrogen ion concentration, the lower the pH. Most. enzymes function efficiently over a narrow pH range. A change in pH. above or below this range reduces the rate of enzyme reaction. considerably.
Changes in pH may not only affect the shape of an enzyme but it may also change the shape or charge properties of the substrate so that either the substrate connot bind to the active site or it cannot undergo catalysis. In geneal enzyme have a pH optimum. However the optimum is not the same for each enzyme.
