Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes vital functions of the body are affected during fever. This is because biological reactions taking place in our body are catalysed by enzymes. These enzymes show maximum activity in the temperature range `298-310K.` During fever, when temperature rise above 310 K, enzymatic activity becomes less.
