Enzymes can not function well at higher tempatures so they become denatured and their body functions are not able to stay normal.
What else can I help you with?
Why would a high fever be dangerous when talking about enzymes in the body?
A high fever is the body's way of trying to denature the intruder, but in the process it ends up destroying it's own enzymes.
Why is a high fever dangerous to enzymes?
A high fever can denature enzymes by altering their shape and structure. Enzymes are sensitive to changes in temperature, and a high fever can disrupt the delicate balance needed for enzymes to function properly, leading to decreased enzyme activity and potentially causing harmful effects on various biological processes in the body.
When does fever get dangerous?
103 It gets dangerous when your body temperature gets too high and denature the enzymes in your body.
When a person has a fever and their body temperature rises what effect may this have on the enzymes in the body?
When a person has a fever, the increase in body temperature can enhance enzyme activity up to a certain point, as many enzymes operate more efficiently at higher temperatures. However, if the temperature rises too high, it can lead to denaturation of enzymes, causing them to lose their structure and function. This can disrupt metabolic processes and negatively impact overall physiological functions. Therefore, while moderate fever can aid in immune responses, excessively high temperatures can be detrimental to enzyme activity.
What happens to the average kinetic energy of the water molecules in your body when you get a fever?
it goes up
What happens to the body during fever?
it affects the body wth inflammation in nasal passage eyes and throat
How might enzymes be important to activities other than digestion?
Enzymes catalyze (speed up) almost every reaction that happens within the body.
What happens to the structure of enzymes after they are exposed to temperatures above the normal body temperature degreees Celsius?
The denature
What happens to the proteins a person eat?
Get broken down by enzymes into soluble chunks and are absorbed by the cell walls in the body
How might a fever be detrimental to someones welfare?
If the temperature in the body is too high it can denature the enzymes responsible for catalysing most of the reactions the body carries out. If this happens, processes from respiration to digestion won't work, and you'd die.
What happens to your body when you dehydrate?
You get really sick! You can also get a headache, feel sick to the stomach, run a fever, and get chills.
What happens when your body temperatures gets to high?
You get a fever. If it goes up to, like, 104 degrees F then you die.
