Enzymes

TRUE OR FALSE:

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up a chemical reaction, and in the process are often consumed by the reaction.

• True

• False

Chemical reactions typically involve the input of some energy in order to begin. This is known as the...

• Rate of Reaction

• Transition State

• Activation Energy

• ATP Factor

TRUE OR FALSE:

Enzymes speed up reactions, but do not affect the ΔG (will not affect the spontaneity of the reaction).

• True

• False

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.
