Put an explanation in order
Practice question
Order these sentences so they explain why a high temperature can stop an enzyme working.
The science has to be right as well as the order. A tidy sequence of false statements is still wrong.
The rate of product formation falls.
Fewer enzyme-substrate complexes form.
The active site is no longer complementary to the substrate.
The temperature is high enough to break bonds that hold the enzyme’s shape.
