none of the following
The pH scale is a range from:
1-7
0-14
1-5
1-14
Which of the following is an acid?
soap
baking soda
orange juice
pure water
Which of the following is true about acids and bases?
The lower the pH #, the stronger the acid
the higher the pH #, the stronger the acid
The lower the pH #, the more neutral the acid
The higher the pH #, the weaker the base
You test a solution with pH paper, and the paper turns blue. The solution is ______.
neutral
an acid
a base
an acid & a base
If an acid is combined with a base of equal strength, the result will most likely be
A neutral solution.
Impossible to tell without testing the pH.
A stronger acid.
A stronger base.
What is the function of an enzyme?
Enzymes break themselves into small pieces
They are catalysts that speed up chemical reactions
They are catalysts that slow down chemical reactions
Enzymes combine products to form reactants
Which of the following factors affects enzyme activity?
All of the above
Concentration of the enzyme or substrate
pH
Temperature
Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose sugar. It normally operates in the human body in the stomach, which is acidic. A drug company wants to test a lactase enzyme medicine in the lab to make sure that it works and can be used to treat people with lactose intolerance. Which test conditions would produce the best lactase enzyme activity?
In an ice bath with a pH of 7
In warm water with a pH of 2
In boiling water with a pH of 5
In warm water with a pH of 9
You stomach is a very acidic environment. At what pH would your stomach enzymes, that are built to work best in the stomach, have the highest activity?
2
10
7
14
According to the Graph and the figure, if gastric enzymes in the stomach leak into the small intestine, will they still work to digest materials in the small intestine?
Yes, because the pH increases when you move from the stomach to the intestine, which increases enzyme activity.
Yes, because gastric enzymes work well at pH 8.
No, because gastric enzymes denature in an acidic environment.
No, because the pH increases when you move from the stomach to the intestine, which denatures the enzyme.
Hyperthermia occurs when the body gets too hot. Which of the following explains why increasing temperature is dangerous for our bodies?
Increasing temperature causes enzymes in our body to work too fast, so they break down things that they shouldn't.
Increasing temperature causes enzymes in our body to unfold or denature, so they cannot speed up reactions that we need to survive.
Enzymes belong to which class of macromolecules?
lipids
