The enzymes' activity will be changed or affected because they can not function well at higher tempratures, as the reson why people die of high fevers because the enzymes will be denatured and their body functions are not able to stay normal.

∙ 15y agoa rise in body temperature can denature the enzyme's active site, meaning that a substrate no longer complements the shape of the active site, and therefore an enzyme substrate complex cannot be formed and the reaction will not take place.

State one way extremely high temperatures can affect biological catalysts found in these organisms?
extremely high temperatures can decrease the rate of enzyme action very quickly ,the enzyme becomes deactivated (enzyme does not work)
Does freezing a enzyme affect it?
When an enzyme is frozen, it only slows down activity. Unlike boiling an enzyme, it does not stop it from working.
What factors affect enzyme production?
you can say enzyme reaction depends on ph, temp
What factor does not affect enzyme function?
jhn
Is there any Procedure in enzyme and factors that affect enzyme activity?
pH, temperature, substrate concentration and enzyme concentration influences the rate of reaction
What effect might a prolonged body fever of 40 Celsius have on the enzyme structure?
High temperatures will cause enzyme structures to dissociate (break apart).

How do changes in pH and temperature affect the native confirmation of an enzyme?
Enzymes are quite easy to break.So if the pH is too acidic,then the enzyme might break.Therefore if the temperature is too high,the enzyme will also break.
What is a high fever for a 4 year old?
The age does not affect the level of heat to be considered a fever. Anything above 98 degrees is abnormal.
What can a fever slow down?
enzymes best function at optimum temperature for human body optimum temperature is 37 C, raise in optimum temperature affects the function of enzymes and with very high temperature enzyme activity ceases. high temperature also affects proteins resulting in protein structural changes. fever slow down the enzyme activity.
Why is a fever over 40 degree Celsius life threatening?
Because high temperature denature proteins in the body. When you get a high fever the enzyme catalase doesn't break down the hydrogen peroxide in your body into water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide in your body in excess ammonts can kill you.
What are 3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalyzed reaction?
3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalysed reaction are: .Temperature .Enzyme Concentartion .Substrate concentration
How does increasing enzyme concentration affect the rate of enzyme action when the enzyme concentration remains constant?
It doesn't
What blood test would a high does s of Tylenol most likely affected?
High doses of Tylenol would not affect any of the common blood tests, although it may affect the outcome of a liver enzyme test.
What can affect a biological function?
enzyme
Could a fever blister affect embryo implantation?
A fever blister won't affect embryo implantation.
What determines an enzyme's functions and how many functions does one enzyme have?
An enzyme has only one substrate that it works with so it has only one function. This is called a lock and key mechanism. Other things can affect the enzyme such as temperature, pH level and levels of either the substrate or the products. High temperature can denature the enzyme (they are proteins). They can not fit the lock (substrate).
