Question

What happens to an enzyme's structure as it exceeds the typical human body temperatur?

Answer 1

When an enzyme exceeds the typical human body temperature, the enzyme's structure can denature and change - therefore the enzyme won't function properly.

Answer 2

Answer;

The enzyme structure begins to break down intermolecular bonds are broken

enzyme molecules gain kinetic energy.

Explanation;

Enzymes are proteins that play an important function in the body of catalyzing reactions in the body.

Enzymes work best at optimum temperature; low temperature lower than optimum temperatures deactivates them and higher temperature denatures them.

The shape of an enzyme depends on its temperature; when they get too warm they get loose, and at very low temperatures they get too tight. At optimum temperature or at the right temperature then they are just at the right shape and the chemical reactions they catalyze will be at optimal rate.
