A researcher isolates an enzyme from a thermophilic bacterium and finds that its activity dramatically decreases when incubated at 25°C compared to its optimal temperature of 70°C. This decrease in activity is MOST likely due to:
Increased substrate affinity at lower temperatures.
Changes in the enzyme's three-dimensional structure affecting the active site.
A decrease in the activation energy of the catalyzed reaction.
An increase in the concentration of competitive inhibitors at lower temperatures.
The process of converting complex molecules into simpler ones with the release of energy is known as:
