Enzymes

Enzymes are considered to be 

• 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

Where do substrates bind on an enzyme?

• voltage-gated channels
• surface receptor
• calcium channels
• active site

How do enzymes increase the speed of chemical reactions?

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

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

• asubstrate (s)

• enzyme(s)

• product(s)

• inhibitor(s)

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. 

What happens when enzymes are cooled down?

• The enzymes die

• The shapes of the enzyme are altered or denatured
• The enzyme slows down

• The active site is altered

Based on the graph, what temperature does this enzyme work best? 

• 15 C
• 40 C
• 30 C
• 47 C
