Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to enzymes at high temperatures?
  • Step 1: Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in the body.
  • Step 2: Each enzyme has a specific shape that allows it to work properly.
  • Step 3: High temperatures can cause the enzyme's structure to change.
  • Step 4: This change in structure is called denaturation.
  • Step 5: When an enzyme denatures, it loses its shape and can no longer function.
  • Step 6: As a result, the enzyme cannot help with the chemical reactions it is supposed to assist.
