The answer is: denaturation.

Explanation:

  • Denaturation refers to the process where an enzyme loses its natural shape due to external factors such as changes in temperature, pH, or exposure to chemicals. This alteration in shape can affect the enzyme's active site, rendering it non-functional or less effective in catalyzing reactions.
  • Other potential terms like "mutation" or "inhibition" do not specifically refer to changes in enzyme shape. Mutation involves changes in the DNA sequence, and inhibition refers to the reduction of enzyme activity by inhibitors, which may not necessarily involve a change in shape.

Christine and Paul are deciding how to split their time between writing music and writing lyrics for their new album. Their PPFs for 72 hours of work are shown in the accompanying diagram. Christine and Paul have to write music for 8 songs and lyrics for 12 songs; 4 songs already have music. When they are done, they can go to a private island and relax from all their hard work. It is possible that they will use more than 72 hours. Once they start writing lyrics and music, assuming their hired help packs for them, and their plane is waiting outside their door, in how many hours can they board the plane to their relaxing island getaway? Christine has a comparative advantage in writing Paul has a comparative advantage in writing lyrics music . Christine will write music for songx. Paul will write music for 8
