In the diagram, what is letter A? 

• product
• substrate
• enzyme-substrate complex
• active site

Enzymes provide a site where reactants called substrates can be brought together in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The site is called the

• enzyme substrate complex.
• reaction site.
• active site.
• lock and key.

Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from this graph?

• The optimum pH of the enzyme is 6.6.
  
• The optimum pH of the enzyme is 5.8
  
• The enzyme’s activity increases as pH increases 5.0 to 9.0
  
• The enzyme’s activity is greater around pH of 8.0 .
  

The part of the enzyme that the substrate bonds to is called the _____.

• active site
• activation energy
• bond site
• peptide bond

At high temperatures enzyme activity declines because of:

• Denaturation
• Decreased Kinetic Motion
• Increased H-Bonding
• Dissociation of Ionic Compounds
