Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - option B. denatured enzymes are no longer active.

Explanation:

Denaturation of the enzymes or proteins results in changes in their original structure which ultimately results in the loss of their particular functions. The denaturation of proteins or enzymes takes place due to extreme temperature or pH which leads to a change in the active site of an enzyme.

Due to this change, the substrate will no longer fit in the active site and become inactive as enzymes work together with the substrate and the active site is the essential part of the enzyme for its activity. In this case, this is condition takes place which makes it denatured at 212 degrees F.
