Question 1.
What is the role of enzymes in biochemical reactions?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens to reaction rates in the presence of enzymes.
Question 2.
What do we call the substrate when it binds to an enzyme?
Show hintHide hint
It involves the interaction of enzyme and substrate.
3Question 3.
What is the main function of enzymes?
- To increase activation energy
- To catalyze biochemical reactions
- To provide structural support
Show hintHide hint
Consider the role of enzymes in the lab or in our bodies.
4Question 4.
True or False: Enzymes permanently change after a reaction.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the enzyme's role in facilitating reactions multiple times.
Question 5.
Given a scenario where an enzyme operates at different temperatures, predict how varying temperatures might affect its activity and stability. Include illustrations of the molecular dynamics involved.
Show hintHide hint
Consider both the kinetic energy of molecules and the structural integrity of the enzyme.
Question 6.
Design an experiment to test the effect of a competitive inhibitor on the enzyme activity. What variables will you measure, and how will you determine the competitive inhibitor's effectiveness?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how to isolate the variable of enzyme activity when changing conditions.
