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.
Temperature, pH and enzymes. The activity of enzymes is affected by temperature and pH pH: Scale of acidity/alkalinity. pH below 7 = acidic, pH above 7 = alkaline. Temperature and enzymes. As the temperature increases, so does the rate of reaction. But very high temperatures denature enzymes. The graph shows the typical change in an enzyme's activity with increasing temperature. The enzyme activity gradually increases with temperature up to around 37ÂºC, or body temperature. Then, as the temperature continues to rise, the rate of reaction falls rapidly as heat energy denatures the enzyme. Graph of enzyme activity against temperature pH and enzymes
