Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what does it mean when you’re sick and your enzymes usually work best at 98.6 Fahrenheit
A
The whole process will work right to fight to get your fever down
B
they won’t work right and will become a substrate which means they won’t do their one job
C
they won’t work right and will become denatured, which means they won’t be able to do their one specific job
D
Everything shuts down in your body including your heart slowly
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes work best under certain conditions, and enzyme activity will slow down if conditions are not ideal. For example, your normal body temperature is 98.6°F (37°C), but if you have a fever and your temperature is above 104°F (40°C), some enzymes in your body can stop working, and you could get sick.

Detailed explanation-2: -Enzyme denaturation happens when the structure of a protein and its functional group undergo conformational changes, resulting in inactivity. Denatured proteins have a looser, more random structure, and the majority of them are insoluble.

Detailed explanation-3: -Temperature: Enzymes work best when your body temperature is normal, about 98.6°F (37°C). As temperature increases, enzyme reactions increase. But if the temperature gets too high, the enzyme stops working. That’s why a high fever can disrupt bodily functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -This optimal temperature is usually around human body temperature (37.5 oC) for the enzymes in human cells. Above this temperature the enzyme structure begins to break down (denature) since at higher temperatures intra-and intermolecular bonds are broken as the enzyme molecules gain even more kinetic energy.
