← ScienceWhich outcome happens when an enzyme catalyst within a closed bioreactor experiences thermal denaturation?
A)Increased energy of activation threshold
B)Substrate concentration equilibrium stabilization
C)Increased maximum reaction initial velocity
D)Reduced metabolic process production yield✓
💡 Explanation
Reduced yield occurs because thermal denaturation degrades the enzyme catalyst, hindering reaction rates by disrupting the active site’s molecular function. This inactivation decreases reaction efficiency; therefore, less product forms. Rather than merely impacting equilibrium, the enzyme's function is compromised.
