what you know about protein structure and function, why do you predict a prolonged high fever can be fatal if left untreated?

a Proteins will become denatured, causing them to unravel and lose their secondary and tertiary

a Proteins will become denatured, causing them to unravel and

structure leading to a loss of their important biological functions.

b$.$ Proteins will fold together even more compactly due to the excessive heat causing functions. their three$-$dimensional shape and therefore altering their important biological funsing them to

c$.$ The high temperature breaks the peptide bonds holding the proteins together become degraded and unable to perform their important biological functions.

d$.$ The high temperature causes the cell to lose water, and since all proteins are hydrophilic they won't be able to function properly.
