Question

Jennifer stews peaches to make peach jelly. She believes the homemade jelly will make a healthy treat full of vitamins and enzymes her body needs. Which of the following disproves her prediction? A.The peaches don't contain enzymes.

B.The jelly has too much sugar to be healthy.
C.The enzymes in the peaches have denatured.
D.The vitamins in the peaches will inhibit the enzymes.

Answer 1

Because Jennifer had to boil and stew the peaches, the enzymes in the peaches will have denatured. This is because once the enzymes reach a boiling point they start to change and become less-effective.
