Pepsin is an enzyme that works best in your stomach, while amylase works best in your mouth. If you switched these enzymes and put pepsin in your mouth and amylase in your stomach, what would you expect to happen to the activity of these two enzymes? Explain.
Their activity would be lowered because their shape would change from not being in their ideal environment.
