At very high temperatures, most enzymes do not increase the rate of the reactions they regulate. What is the most likely reason for this lack of enzyme activity at very high temperatures?

Back

The enzyme denatures and can no longer function properly.

Front

Which statement correctly describes a property of enzymes?

• Enzymes react at identical rates under all circumstances.
• Enzymes are destroyed and then reformed after each reaction.
• Enzymes form permanent structures when they bind to substrates.
• Enzyme structures are specific to the type of substrate they bond to.
