- 1. Multiple Choice
At high temperatures, the rate of enzyme action decreases because the increased heat......
neutralizes the acids and bases in the system
alters the shape of the active site of the enzyme
increases the concentration of the enzyme
changes the pH of the system
- 2. Multiple Choice
Enzymes speed up the rate of chemical reactions by.....
giving you extra oxygen.
absorbing water released when polymers are formed.
lowering the activation energy.
combining with excess hydrogen to form a gas.

- 15. Multiple Choice
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
