Chapter 19.8, Problem 19.12Q

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The cellular death due to elevated temperature conditions has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

All physiological reactions work most efficiently under optimum $\text{pH}$ and temperature. Variation in the optimum $\text{pH}$ or temperature impacts the environment of the substrate or the cytoplasmic region that can ultimately affect the activity of the enzyme and thus ability of enzyme to form the enzyme substrate complex is compromised.
