Enzymes L2

Multiple Select

Enzymes may recognize and catalyze the following...

• phagocytosis

• single substrates

• one or two reactant types

• a group of similar substrates

• a particular bond or linkage

Multiple Choice

An enzyme speeds up a reaction by

• lowering the activation energy.
• raising the activation energy.
• releasing energy.
• absorbing energy.

Multiple Choice

What is the name for a mechanism of enzyme activity?

• Lock and key

• jigsaw puzzle

• hammer and nail

• two hands pattern

Multiple Select

What are key features of the lock-and-key model?

• the active site has a rigid shape.

• only substrates with the matching shape can fit.

• the substrate is a key that fits the lock of the active site

• the ES complex formed is rigid

Multiple Select

What are key features of the induced fit model?

• only substrates with the matching shape can fit

• the active site is flexible, not rigid

• the shapes of the enzyme, active site, and substrate adjust to maximize the fit

• greater range of substrate specificity

Open Ended

Contrast the Lock-and-Key model of enzyme action with the Induced Fit model.
