Enzymes

What is the purpose of an enzyme?

• give permission for the reaction

• speed up reactions

• raise activation energy

• control how many reactions occur

What happens when enzymes are heated to a high temperature?

• The enzymes die.

• The enzymes' amino acid sequence changes.

• The shapes of the enzyme are altered or denatured

• The enzymes remain the same

What happens to an enzyme when it is denatured?

• Activation energy is lowered.

• It loses its shape.

• It becomes stronger.

• Activation energy is raised.

Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from this graph?

• The enzyme’s activity increases as pH increases 5.0 to 9.0

• The optimum pH of the enzyme is 5.8

• The enzyme’s activity is greater around pH of 8.0 .
