Solution

The factors that effect enzymes in our body are:

1. Temperature:- any increase from optimum temperature will denature an enzyme, whereas decrease in temperature, reduces its efficiency.

2. pH:- Change in pH, alters the active site of an enzyme, therefore substrate binding cannot takes place.

3. Inhibitors:- these molecule can bind with enzyme and reduce its efficiency.

4. Substrate concentration:- Decrease in substrate concentration will lead to the inactivity of enzymes.
