2. In the ‘induced fit’ model of enzyme action, the active site:
- Adapts to the shape of the substrate to break it down into products.
- Is adapted to the shape of a specific substrate and engages/breaks it down into products on contact.
3. There is a maximum level of production in terms of concentration, as ultimately all active sites could be continually busy.
- True
- False
4. There is an optimal temperature for enzymatic reactions because:
- Too high a temperature would cause irreversible denaturing of active sites, and too low a temperature would reduce rate of successful enzyme/substrate collisions.
- Too high a temperature would affect availability of active sites and too low a temperature would risk the irreversible denaturing of active sites.
5. Non-competitive inhibitors only affect product formation i.e. they do not block the active site.
- True
- False
