Denaturation occurs when the enzyme’s _____ is altered. (Select all that apply.)

Question

A.
temperature

B.
pH

C.
activation energy

D.
concentration

Answer 1

Denaturation occurs when the enzyme’s A. temperature and B. pH are altered.

So the correct answers are A and B.

Denaturation refers to the process in which an enzyme's structure is altered, impacting its function, typically due to extreme changes in temperature or pH. Activation energy (C) and concentration (D) are related to enzyme activity but do not involve the structural alteration that defines denaturation.
