Other questions in this quiz

2. In anabolic reactions, the substrate is:

  • Formed from two extraneous things and then released for some purpose.
  • Broken down into products which are put into use elsewhere.

3. Which type of enzyme inhibitor is permanent?

  • Non-competitive
  • Competitive

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. 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.
