7 multiple choice 1 point what happens when an enzyme is denatured? normal denatured the enzyme produces carbon dioxide the enzyme no longer works the enzyme speeds up the reaction it produces about 6 or 7 enzymes
Enzymes work based on their specific shape (lock - and - key model). When denatured, their shape changes. A changed shape means the substrate (the green molecule in the diagram) can no longer fit into the enzyme's active site. Since the enzyme - substrate complex cannot form, the enzyme loses its catalytic function.
