- If the environmental temperature gets too high, what will happen to an enzyme and the chemical reaction it catalyzes? Group of answer choices A. It will not encounter its substrates often, and the reaction will slow down. B. It will crystallize, the active site will become inflexible and slow down the reaction. C. It will denature, lose its shape, and the reaction will not occur. D. It will become less fluid, and be unable to transport substances easily. E. It will become more fluid, and speed up the reaction.arrow_forwardWhich of the followingdescribe superior properties of enzymes (biological catalysts) over traditional chemical catalysts? a. They are mostly and generally operative under mild temperature, pressure, and pH conditions b. They are regulated only by substrate concentration c.
