A human digestive enzyme breaks down its substrate at a fast rate at 35 °C.
What would occur if the enzyme and substrate were kept at 75 °C?
A The enzyme would stop working and be denatured.
B The reaction would continue at the same rate.
C The reaction would take place more quickly.
D The reaction would take place more slowly.
Thank you!
Option A, because enzymes denature at 40 degrees Celsius, and when it denatures the active side changes it shape so the substrate won't be able to fit into it.
