Which consequence results when elevated temperature destroys protein tertiary structure?

A)Enzyme catalytic activity decreases rapidly
B)Hydrogen bonds become abnormally amplified
C)Hydrophobic interactions dramatically decrease
D)Alpha helix peptide secondary structure strengthens

💡 Explanation

Enzyme activity diminishes greatly once the non-covalent bonds maintaining structure become disrupted by heat via denaturation; because active site shape is lost. Therefore enzyme function falters rather than hydrophobic stabilization or helix formation, because structure collapses.
