A change in temperature affects an enzyme by causing the enzyme to change it's shape.

<h3>what is an enzyme?</h3>

An enzyme is a substance that catalyzes chemical reactions.

  • Temperature is one of the major factors that aid enzymes action.

  • Increase in temperature could increase the rate of enzyme.

  • However, at a very high temperatures, the enzyme can be denatured thereby changing it shape or structure and the enzyme may no longer bind to the substrate or function effectively this will then reduce the rate of chemical reaction.

Therefore, a change in temperature i.e very high temperature can change the shape of an enzyme.

lara31 [8.8K]

The correct answer is transitional.  

Gerobatrachus refers to an extinct genus of amphibamid temnospondyl, which thrived in the initial Permian, that is, about 290 mya, in the region, which is now known as Baylor County, Texas. The transitional form of fossils are those that demonstrate the intermediate form between the two distinct living species, it could be in a form of an ancestor and its descendants. It is considered that the frogs and salamanders have evolved from a common ancestor of primitive amphibian tetrapod subclass known as Temnospondyli.
