A scientist measures the reaction rate of a specific enzyme at varying temperatures and records the following data: Temp (^circC) | Reaction Rate (units/min) 10 | 15 20 | 35 30 | 70 40 | 12 Which statement best explains the drastic change in reaction rate observed at 40^circC?
- The rate decreased because there was not enough O₂ to facilitate the reaction.
- Mitochondria stopped producing ATP, causing the enzyme to lose all its energy.
- The reaction reached homeostasis and stabilized the rate to prevent cell damage.
- The enzyme denatured because its protein structure unfolded at high heat.
