Enzymes in potatoes cause fresh potatoes to turn brown. If you boil the potato at 100C then the potato stays white. What does this prove about the enzyme?
Choose one:
Enzymes work only in living cells
Enzymes are destroyed at high temperatures
pH of enzymes is changed at high temperatures
The concentration of enzymes is changed at high temperatures.
Thank you

hey ....
when we heat, enzyme get destroyed or more specifically get denatured..
because heating affect the active site of enzyme..
(the working structure of an enzyme is tertiary structure ... but when we heat the tertiary structure get converted into secondry or primary one)

So which one is it?
Enzymes are destroyed at high temperatures then
its option 2
they are destroyed at high temp.
Thank you very much

Enzymes are destroyed at high temperature.
Explanation:
The enzymes are substances that has the ability to increase the rate of reaction. It acts as the catalyst. Enzymes by nature are proteinous in nature and work at a certain temperature.
Enzymes in the potatoes are functional at particular temperature only so they get denatured at higher temperature. The structure of the protein changes known as denaturing of enzymes.
This is the reason when the potatoes were boiled they remained white as the enzymes were not functional at that temperature.
