When a person has a very high fever, what can happen to some of the enzymes in the body? Enzyme activity decreases. Enzyme activity increases. Enzyme activity is unaffected by temperature. How will biochemical reaction rates change as a result of a high fever? decrease remain the same increase

Many enzymes work best at temperatures near $35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Normal body temperature is $37.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. What happens to the rates of enzyme catalyzed reactions when you run a fever?
A bacterial enzyme has the following temperaturedependent activity. (a) Is this enzyme more or less active at normal body temperature than when a person has a fever? (b) What happens to the enzyme activity if the patient's temperature is lowered to $35^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
