A prolonged period of high fever is dangerous to humans because... (choose TWO that apply)

• It makes the enzymes work faster

• It denatures the enzyme and stops working

• It can make the enzyme function better than it did before

• It can change the shape of an enzyme so it can not bind to the right substrate
