The human body maintains a temperature of around 98.6 degrees at all times. enzymes are involved in almost every chemical reaction in the body. which of the following describes the connection between these two statements?

a. enzymes function best at a specific temperature.

b. the body needs to be warm to prevent hypothermia.

c. the body is kept relatively warm to prevent too much enzyme action.

d. there is no connection between the two statements.

A. Enzymes function best at a specific temperature.

Explanation:

Enzymes act as catalyst of the biological processes that take place in the body.Temperature regulate reactions in the body. Increase in temperature increases the enzymes activity thus increasing the rate of reaction, until up to an optimum temperature which when exceeded denatures the enzymes .Decrease in temperature decrease the enzyme activity decreasing the rate of reaction. Moreover enzymes work  best at optimum temperature hence many chemical reactions take place when the temperature  optimum.
