NGSS.HS-PS1-2

What happens when enzymes are heated to a high temperature?

• The enzymes die.
• The shapes of the enzyme are altered denature
• The enzymes' amino acid sequence changes.
• The enzymes remain the same

An enzyme speeds up a reaction by

• lowering the activation energy.
• raising the activation energy.
• releasing energy.
• absorbing energy.

What happens to an enzyme when it is denatured?

• Activation energy is lowered.
• It becomes stronger.
• It loses its shape.
• Activation energy is raised.

What is the purpose of an enzyme?

• control how many reactions occur

• raise activation energy

• give permission for the reaction

• speed up chemical reactions
