Why are enzyme solutions always prepared using a buffered solvent at a specific pH?

A buffered solvent is resistant to changes in pH because it is made with 50% sugar. Enzymes are best able to maintain their pH in a high sugar environment.

A buffered solvent easily changes in pH because it is made with a combination of a weak acid and its conjugate base. Enzymes perform best in solutions that can vary in pH.

A buffered solvent is resistant to fluctuations in pH, because it is made with a combination of a weak acid and its conjugate base. Enzymes best retain their function within a narrow pH range.
