Enzymes

  • Globular proteins
  • biological catalysts whcih speed up reactions
  • have an active site, where substrates attach
  • form a enzyme-substrate complex

1. What is the effect of pH on enzyme activity?

  • enzyme works best in its optimum pH range
  • no effect
  • enzyme works best at very low pHs out of its range
  • enzyme works best at very high pHs out of its range

2. What is effect of temperature of enzyme activity?

  • enzyme works best at very high temps
  • increases it to a point(optimum temp) where it then denatures
  • enzyme works best at very low temps
  • increases it indefinitely

3. What is the effect of competitive inhibitors on enzymes?

  • binds to the active site temporarily and lowers reaction rate
  • binds to the active site permanently
  • speeds up the reaction
  • no effect

4. What is the effect of non-competitive inhibitors on enzymes?

  • binds to the enzyme permanently, irreversible
  • binds to the enzyme temporarily, reversible
  • speeds up the reaction
  • no effect

5. What is the active site?

  • something all proteins have
  • region on the enzyme the substrate binds to
  • region on the substrate the enzyme binds to
  • a shape on the enzyme that fits a range of substrates
