A child is brought to the hospital with a fever of 107°F. Doctors
immediately order an ice bath to lower the child's temperature. Which
of the following statements offers the most logical explanation for this
action?
A)Elevated body temperature will increase reaction rates in the child's
cells and overload the limited number of enzymes found in the cell.
B) Elevated body temperatures may denature enzymes. This would
interfere with the cell's abilities to catalyze various reactions.
C) Elevated body temperatures will increase the energy of activation
needed to start various chemical reactions in the body. This will
interfere with the ability of enzymes to catalyze vital chemical
reactions.
D) Elevated body temperatures cause molecules to vibrate more
quickly and prevent enzymes from easily attaching to reactants. This
would slow vital body reactions.
