The enzyme pepsin functions optimally at a low pH. If pepsin is present in the stomach and the stomach’s pH increases significantly above its optimal range, what will likely happen to the enzyme activity?

The enzyme pepsin functions optimally at a low pH. If pepsin is present in the stomach and the stomach's pH increases significantly above its optimal range, what will likely happen to the enzyme activity?

  • A The enzyme will continue to function at the same rate.
  • B The enzyme will function more efficiently due to the higher pH.
  • C The enzyme will denature, leading to a decrease in activity.
  • D The enzyme will become inactive but can be reactivated by lowering the pH.
