Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Enzymes work best in temperatures above body temperature.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Enzymes are affected by pH and temperature Various environmental factors are able to affect the rate of enzyme-catalysed reactions through reversible or irreversible changes in the protein structure. The effects of pH and temperature are generally well understood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Extracellular and cell-bound hyperthermophilic enzymes (i.e., saccharidases and proteases) are optimally active at temperatures above-sometimes far above-the host organism’s optimum growth temperature and are, as a rule, highly stable.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most of the enzymes in human body function optimally at the physiological temperature that is 37∘C.
