Jacoby Moss · Answer 1

B. change shape

Explanation:

Shrimps that live in the cold waters off Alaska will die if introduced into warm water because the shape of the enzyme molecule determines how it functions in chemical reactions. For example, when these shrimps are introduced to warm water, Synthesis of enzymatic activities needed for various roles (e. g digestion) will be slower or will not occur at all and this is detrimental to the survival of the Shrimp.
