Many enzymes consist of a protein and a non-protein (called the cofactor). The proteins in enzymes are usually globular. The intra- and intermolecular bonds that hold proteins in their secondary and tertiary structures are disrupted by changes in temperature and pH. This affects shapes and so the catalytic activity of an enzyme is pH and temperature sensitive.
Everyday in the U.S. millions of cars and trucks idle needlessly, sometimes for hours. You may not be able to avoid keeping your engine running when youâre stopped at a traffic signal or stuck in slow-moving traffic. But other times idling is unnecessary. An idling car can release as much pollution as a moving car.

If leaks are visible, shut off the engine immediately and have the leaks repaired. 17. Shut off the engine and allow 30 seconds for oil to settle in the engine. Carefully inspect the area beneath the vehicle for oil leaks.
