Ost Enzyme

Enzymes are proteins that have a three-dimensional shape that is specific to a particular substrate. Environmental conditions can change the shape of the protein.

What is the most likely result if the shape of the enzyme changes?

• The substrate will change its shape to match the enzyme.

• The enzyme will no longer be able to catalyze the reaction with the substrate.

• The products made from the enzyme and the substrate will be changed.

• The enzyme will be able to bind to more diverse substrates than before

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 .
  

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.

• Enzymes decrease the activation energy of the reaction.

• Enzymes reverse the direction of the reaction.

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

• 15^oC
• 40^oC
• 30^oC
• 35^oC

Enzymes are a form of which biomolecule?

• Carbohydrates

• Proteins

• Nucleic Acids

• Lipids

Beechdrops (Epifagus virginiana) are leafless plants that lack chlorophyll. Beechdrops get their nourishment from the roots of beech trees, which reduces the amount of nutrients available to the trees themselves. This interaction is best described as —

• predatory

• parasitic

• commensalistic

• mutualistic
