Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After reaching the optimal temperature, any further increase in temperature will reduce the enzyme activity rapidly until it ____ *At this temperature, the enzymes become ____ as the chemical bonds in the enzyme molecules break at extreme temperatures.*The enzymes are unable to retain the three-dimensional form. The active site of enzymes changes. The substrate does not complement the active site of enzymes
A
stops at 60 celcius
B
denatured
C
not complement
D
suitable
E
start at 60 celcius
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases with an increase in the concentration of an enzyme. At low temperatures, an increase in temperature increases the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. At higher temperatures, the protein is denatured, and the rate of the reaction dramatically decreases.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus too much heat can cause the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction to decrease because the enzyme or substrate becomes denatured and inactive. Each enzyme has a temperature range in which a maximal rate of reaction is achieved.
