Which of the following correctly describes how enzymes work?  

• they lower the energy of the reactants to increase the rxn rate
• they supply energy to the reaction to increase the rxn rate
• they lower the energy of the products to increase the rxn rate

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 and salinity can denature enzymes.

• Enzymes speed up chemical reactions.

If a mutation occurs in a DNA sequence that codes for an enzyme, what is the most likely result?

• There will likely be no change in the shape and function of the enzyme.

• The enzyme will most likely fold in a way that makes its shape incompatible with the substrate and the enzyme will not function correctly.

• The enzyme will not be produced at all.

• The enzyme will have an enhanced ability to bind with the substrate.
