Enzyme deactivation which is called denaturization is when an enzyme's physical structure is changed due to either high pH, or temperature. If enzymes convert the sugar to starch and make the corn less sweet, then boiling the enzymes will cause them to deactivate, which doesn't allow them to convert the sugar into starch. Therefore, the corn will remain sweeter.

Consider that when the enzyme is heated that its physical structure changes, meaning that it may not be able to fit the sugar molecule in its activation site. Meaning that the sugar can no longer bind to the enzyme to create starch, which again leaves it sweeter.

*activation site - site where the substrate (sugar) bonds to the enzyme in order for a chemical change to occur to the substrate.

How does human evolution or natural selection relate to the susceptibility of disease?

Phantasy [73]

Human evolution known to be a process in which species adapt to certain conditions of life, and in the battle of life and death, they are forced to become stronger in order to survive in this world. Diseases have always been present during the evolution, acting themselves as a natural selectors - the weaker organisms get sick and die. Not just humans, but all species have to establish a great protecting mechanism in order to survive. That is how our bodies are built, to be able to withstand and survive in the conditions we live in, and that is why our immune system has to be taken care of.
Hope this helped :)
