Meat tenderizer contains an enzyme that breaks down meat quickly at room temperature. If meat is coated with tenderizer and then placed in a refrigerator, how would the enzyme be affected?

The enzyme would be deactivated

Explanation:

If a meat coated with tenderizer is placed in a refrigerator, the cold environment of the refrigerator would deactivate the enzyme.

Enzymes are generally sensitive to temperature with high temperature capable of destroying the polypeptide bonds that hold the amino acids together thus denaturing their proteinous nature.  At low temperatures, the molecules of the enzyme move less and less until the enzyme becomes deactivated.

all cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, which protects the cell from its environment, keeping toxic substances out of the cell. it regulates which molecules are allowed to enter and exit the cell.

regulates all cell activity such as cellular metabolism, and growth in addition to storing and maintaining the cell's dna for transcription and replication. determines what proteins to make.

contains the organelles; site of most cell activity

the place where ribosomes do their working activity.

builds the proteins.

prepares proteins for use or export.

responsible for breaking down and absorbing materials taken in by the cell.

maintains cell shape.
