Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most physiological processes speed up as the temperature increases, due to the increased kinetic energy of molecules, which enhances the rate of chemical reactions. However, there is a limit to this effect; beyond a certain temperature, proteins can denature, leading to a decrease in physiological function.
