Explain why vigorous exercise in warm weather could be hazardous to your enzymes? What will be an ideal response?


For enzymes, a class of proteins, to function properly them must retain their proper structure. Heat is
capable of denaturing proteins, or altering their mature structure. Extreme exercise in hot weather can
cause the body to overheat and denature the enzymes. Great care should be taken to avoid
overheating!
