Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Some bacteria live in hot springs. Their cells contain enzymes that function best at temperatures of 70
A
The enzymes will be destroyed by lysosomes
B
The enzymes will lose their bond structure and fall apart.
C
The enzymes will require less energy to function than at 70
D
The enzymes will not increase the rate of reactions as much as they would at 70
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some bacteria live in hot springs. Their cells contain enzymes that function best at temperatures of 70 C or higher at a temperature of 50 C, how will the enzymes in these bacterial cells most likely be affected? The enzymes will not increase the rate of reactions as much as they would at 70 C.

Detailed explanation-2: -In fact, the microbe’s cellulose-digesting enzyme, called a cellulase, is most active at a record 109 degrees Celsius (228 degrees Fahrenheit), significantly above the 100℃ (212℉) boiling point of water.

Detailed explanation-3: -How will the enzymes in these bacteria most likely change if the temperature is lowered to 45∘C ? The enzymes will not catalyze reactions as efficiently.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some bacteria are metabolically active in hot springs because they are able to maintain a lower internal temperature. their enzymes have high optimal temperatures. high temperatures make catalysis unnecessary.
