The best response that describes one way that an enzyme in the human body can become denatured is:
The temperature of the body increases to 40 degrees Celsius.
Elevated temperatures can cause enzymes to denature, which means they lose their functional shape and, consequently, their catalytic activity. Normal human body temperature is around 37 degrees Celsius, and increasing this too much can disrupt enzyme structure.
