Answer 2

Well because of a change in temp, the proteins would lose their structure by a process called Denaturing. Once they lose this structure they will no longer be able to continue with binding to their substrate -- which will lead to not making ATP in the mitochondria.

Answer 3

@Rose501 ok.?

Answer 4

*denature proteins and enzymes
