properties of enzymes

The graph shows how enzymes affect reactions in cells. Which statement best summarizes the information shown in the graph?

• Enzymes increase the energy of the reactants.
• Enzymes decrease the energy level of the products.
• Enzyme decrease the activation energy of the reaction.
• Enzymes reverse the direction of the reaction.

What happens when enzymes are heated to a high temperature?

• The enzymes die.

• The shapes of the enzyme are altered denature

• The enzymes' amino acid sequence changes.

• The enzymes remain the same

Enzymes

• Slow down a chemical reaction

• Speed up a chemical reaction

What happens when an enzyme goes above its optimum temperature?

• It speeds up the reaction

• The enzyme binds to its substrate

• The enzyme becomes denatured

• The enzyme becomes natured

What happens when an enzyme becomes denatured?

• The reaction slows down

• The reaction speeds up

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 .
  

What makes an enzyme substrate specific?

• Size
• Shape
• Name
• Location it is found in

What happens when enzymes are heated to a high temperature?

• The enzymes die.
• The shapes of the enzyme are altered denature
• The enzymes' amino acid sequence changes.
• The enzymes remain the same

Cells can produce over one thousand different enzymes at a time.  Enzymes are critical to the metabolism of these cells, but why are so many different enzymes needed?

• Cells are completely unable to control what enzymes
  they produce
• The variety of enzymes prevents their actions from being inhibited. 
• The active site of an enzyme can only bind to a specific substrate.
• The products of a reaction are always converted into new enzymes.

Which best describe an enzyme?

• it is globular protein

• act as biological catalyst

• its monomer is amino acid

• speed up a chemical reaction
