Which of the following statements correctly relates to enzymes? Check all that apply.
Answer
They are biological catalysts.
They are used up during reactions.
They are effective in small amounts.
They are found exclusively inside cells.
Question 2
Question
Unlike [blank_start]chemical[blank_end] catalysts, enzymes do not require [blank_start]extreme[blank_end] temperatures or [blank_start]pH[blank_end] to function efficiently. Also, they [blank_start]don't[blank_end] produce by-products, are highly [blank_start]specific[blank_end], and their activity can be regulated by cells.

Question 3
Question
Metabolic substrates and products sometimes regulate the activity of enzymes in their own and other metabolic pathways.
Answer
True
False
Question 4
Question
[blank_start]Catalase[blank_end] is an example of a four-polypeptide intracellular enzyme. It breaks down [blank_start]hydrogen[blank_end] [blank_start]peroxide[blank_end] into oxygen and [blank_start]water[blank_end]. [blank_start]Amylase[blank_end] is an extracellular enzyme produced by the [blank_start]pancreas[blank_end] and released into the [blank_start]small[blank_end] [blank_start]intestine[blank_end]. It breaks down [blank_start]starch[blank_end] into maltose. Similarly, t[blank_start]rypsin[blank_end] breaks down proteins into peptides.

Question 5
Question
Enzymes bind to their substrate at their [blank_start]active[blank_end] site. This consists of [blank_start]6-10[blank_end] amino acids that form a [blank_start]tertiary[blank_end] structure which is [blank_start]complementary[blank_end] and [blank_start]specific[blank_end] to the substrate.
The role of [blank_start]cofactors[blank_end] is to ensure that enzymes act at the appropriate rate.

Question 6
Question
ESC stands for [blank_start]enzyme[blank_end] [blank_start]substrate[blank_end] [blank_start]complex[blank_end].
Answer
enzyme
substrate
complex
Question 7
Question
Which of the following statements are TRUE about enzyme action?
Answer
Enzyme-substrate collisions are random.
Enzyme-substrate collisions happen less frequently when heat/kinetic energy is high.
Enzyme active site and substrate are specific and complementary.
The ESC is usually held together by covalent bonds.
Substrate(s) is/are broken down or combined while in the ESC.
Question 8
Question
The ESC is unstable, holding more energy than the substrate(s), which in turn holds more energy than the product(s).
Answer
True
False
Question 9
Question
According to the [blank_start]induced[blank_end] fit hypothesis, formation of the ESC creates subtle changes in the [blank_start]active site[blank_end] [blank_start]tertiary[blank_end] structure, which allows [blank_start]bonds[blank_end] to break and form during the biological reaction.
