Why would different enzymes have different temperature ranges with different optimal temperatures?
Well, it depends on where in the body the enzyme is located. however, all enzymes in the human body work within a very narrow temperature scale, they don't all have the exact same optimal temp, but they are close. for instance, enzymes in the scrotum have to be able to work at a temp three degrees or so lower than the average human body temperature.

Why does the freezer in the refrigerators goes off and on?
Beause it needs to maintain the temperature selected. It goes on to cool the air, then it turns off when it is at the optimal temperature. When the air warms up again, it turns back on
Can enzymes function at any pH?
No. They function best at the pH corresponding to their usual/intended environment. For example, pepsin, present in the stomach, which is highly acidic, functions best at acidic pH, while trypsin, secreted into the duodenum together with basic bicarbonate, functions best at moderately basic pH. This is true also within subcellular compartments: the optimal pH of lysosomal enzymes is acidic, matching the acidic proteolytic environment inside the lysosome. That said, most enzymes present in the cytosol (~neutral) and blood (~neutral) function best around neutral pH.
What is the temperature of hot water in a washing machine?
The temperature of hot water in a washing machine typically ranges from 130°F to 140°F (54°C to 60°C). This temperature is necessary to effectively remove dirt, stains, and bacteria from clothes during the wash cycle. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for water temperature settings to ensure optimal cleaning results without damaging the fabric.

Do substrates get consumed in enzyme reactions?
On active sites of enzymes, substrates bind to form products.Specific activity is usually expressed as μmol of substrate transformed to product per minute per milligram of enzyme under optimal conditions of measurement.The rate of a reaction is the concentration of substrate disappearing (or product produced) per unit time (mol-1 L-1 s-1 ).
