question
why is a high fever life - threatening?
answer
you may sweat too much.
ph will increase to 7.4
high body temperature can disrupt protein structure of the enzymes.
i dont know yet
Enzymes are proteins that have specific three - dimensional structures for their functions. High body temperatures can cause the denaturation of these proteins, disrupting their structure and function. Sweating too much is not the life - threatening aspect of a high fever, and the body's normal pH is around 7.4 and a high fever doesn't typically cause it to increase to 7.4 in a life - threatening way.
