Each enzyme has a temperature at which it works best. A slight increase in temperature can increase enzyme activity while a larg

e increase in temperature can cause the enzyme to become denatured. Which of the following best explains what happens when a protein becomes denatured?

b. The enzyme loses its shape and is no longer able to catalyze chemical reactions.
c. The enzyme breaks apart into the amino acids that originally combined to form the enzyme.

The correct option is B.
The shapes of enzymes are very important because their shapes determines the kind of chemical reactions that they can catalyse. This is because the substance been catalyzed must fit into the active sites of the enzyme that is been used. In a situation where an enzyme becomes denatured, such an enzymes losses its original shape and this remove from it the capacity to catalyze chemical reactions, thus, it becomes non functional.

to maintain a line of pure-breeding peas , selective breeders would use a technique called __________.
Basile [38]
To maintain a line of pure-breeding peas, selective breeders would use a technique called artificial cross-pollination. This is a technique were breeders transfer pollen from the anthers of one pea plant (male parent) to a stigma of a flower (female parent).

This technique was developed by Gregor Mendel, the founder of the science of genetics. He was a monk who dedicated his time in research about how genes of plants are carried over through specific species. In his controlled experiment he used the pea plant because they are cheap and readily available from merchants who sold them in different classifications. He also used pea plants because they have the capacity to self-pollinate or cross-pollinate.
