AP Biology Enzymes Part 1

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

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

Which of these is NOT true?

• Enzymes can denature (change shape) when the temperature gets too high.
• Enzymes can only be used once in a chemical reaction. 
• Extreme pH can denature enzymes.
• Enzymes speed up chemical reactions.

Which of the following is directly responsible for the shape of an enzyme/protein?

• The amino acid sequence of the protein and the properties of the amino acids that make up the protein.

• The temperature of the surrounding environment.

• The pH of the surrounding environment.

• The amount of substrate present.

Blocking Active site of an enzyme

• competitive inhibition
• allosteric inhibition

A series of enzymes catalyze the reaction X →Y→ Z →A. Product A binds to the enzyme that converts X to Y at a position remote from its active site. This binding decreases the activity of the enzyme. What is substance X? 

• A substrate 
• An allosteric inhibitor 
• The product
• A coenzyme

Succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of succinate to fumarate. The reaction is inhibited by malonic acid, which resembles succinate but cannot be acted upon by succinate dehydrogenase. Increasing the ratio of succinate to malonic acid reduces the inhibitory effect of malonic acid. What is malonic acid's role with respect to succinate dehydrogenase?

• It is a competitive inhibitor.
• It is an allosteric regulator.
• It is able to bind to succinate.
• It blocks the binding of fumarate.

When a molecule can occupy the same active site as the substrate, a situation called __________________ can result

• Competitive lnhibition
• Allosteric Regulation
• Non-Competitive Inhibition
• Feedback Inhibition

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

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 .
