Cells are completely unable to control what enzymes they produce

The variety of enzymes prevents their actions from being inhibited.

The active site of an enzyme can only bind to a specific substrate.

The products of a reaction are always converted into new enzymes.

Excessive heat and changes in pH

Nothing can
