The answer is respiration.

The burning of fossil fuels is known as combustion. It is often compared with cellular respiration.
The general equation of cellular respiration is:
glucose + oxygen → <span>water + carbon dioxide
</span>
The general equation of combustion is:
fuel + oxygen → <span>water + carbon dioxide

Both reactions involve breaking down of large molecules (glucose and fuel) using oxygen into water and carbon dioxide. In both reactions, chemical energy is transformed into more useful form.</span>

mario62 [17]

Answer:

When a substrate is added in water, the enzyme will cause the substrate to dissolve in water. Increase in temperature will cause better functioning of the enzyme and more solute to be dissolved until an optimum temperature. Optimum temperature can be described as the temperature at which the activity of the enzyme is highest.

After optimum temperature is reached, the enzyme will get denatured and the substrate will no longer be able to dissolve in water.
