Enzymes are generally inactivated rapidly by exposure to UV high and also a, ẞ rays because it alters the:
- A
Quantity of enzyme
- B
pH of enzyme
- C
Shape of enzymes
- D
Temperature of enzyme
- E
Nature of enzyme
Exposure to UV, high-energy, and ionizing radiation, such as X-rays and gamma rays, can cause damage to enzymes and other biomolecules. The primary mechanism by which these radiations affect enzymes is by altering their molecular structure or shape. Therefore option C is correct.
It is not altered by UV rays or beta rays.
It is not altered by UV rays or beta rays.
It is altered by UV rays or beta rays.
It is not altered by UV rays or beta rays.
