A prolonged period of high fever is dangerous to humans because... (choose TWO that apply)

• It makes the enzymes work faster

• It denatures the enzyme and stops working

• It can make the enzyme function better than it did before

• It can change the shape of an enzyme so it can not bind to the right substrate

Multiple Choice

The diagram represents one way an enzyme can be inhibited. Which statement explains the effect of an inhibitor on an enzyme?

Multiple Choice

Fireflies emit light. The production of light by an organism is called bioluminescence. To generate visible light, cells in a firefly's tail produces thousand of luciferase enzymes. Luciferase binds to a chemical called luciferin. Once bound, the luciferase enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction that combines an oxygen molecule and luciferin to produce oxyluciferin. This reaction requires energy and releases light. Which of the following best describes how the luciferase enzyme speed up the chemical reaction?

• Luciferase increases the amount of time the light is visible.

• Luciferase decreases the amount of energy required for the reaction to start.

• Luciferase increases the number of sites on luciferin.

• Luciferase decreases the temperature of the environment inside the body of the firefly.
