G3 Level 2 Practice (Enzymes)

Enzymes are an example of

• Lipids

• Carbohydrate

• Protein

• Nucleic Acid

What is the purpose  of an enzyme?

• give permission for the reaction
• raise activation energy
• speed up reactions
• control how many reactions occur

Enzymes are capable of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction within a living cell.  Enzymes accomplish this through which of the following means?

• reducing the number of products   
• reducing the activation energy
• increasing the temperature of the cell
• increasing the concentration of reactants

Any substance that is acted upon by an enzyme is called a(n)?

• Coenzyme
• Substrate
• Vitamin
• Polypeptide

After the enzyme and substrate bind together and perform the reaction, what does the substrate become?

• a substrate
• an enzyme
• a product
• an active site

In the diagram, what is letter A? 

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

Letter D...

• active site
• enzyme
• substrate
• products

Letter B...

• active site
• enzyme
• substrate
• products

An enzyme speeds up a reaction by

• lowering the activation energy.
• raising the activation energy.
• releasing energy.
• absorbing energy.

Based on the graph, what is the optimal temperature for this enzyme? 

• 15^oC
• 40^oC
• 30^oC
• 35^oC
