What happens when enzymes are heated to a high temperature?

• The enzymes die.

• The shape of the enzyme are changed and it denatures

• The enzymes' amino acid sequence changes.

• The enzymes remain the same

The molecule an enzyme is working on is called the:

• Substrate
• Solvent
• Allosteric Inhibitor
• CoEnzyme

Which of these is NOT true?

• Enzymes can denature (change shape) when the temperature gets too high.
• Enzymes can only be used once in a chemical reaction. 
• Extreme pH can denature enzymes.
• Enzymes speed up chemical reactions.
