5.

How the accumulation of products can reverse or decrease the enzyme activity? (Select all that apply)

Decreased or slowed

c)

Stopped

d)

Reversed

7.

Optimum temperature is?

a)

60°C

b)

25°C

c)

37°C

d)

100°C

8.

How does optimum temperature help the enzyme kinetic reaction?

a)

Increase the mobility of molecules to move faster.

b)

Increase the number of molecules to have sufficient energy to pass over the energy barrier

c)

Lower the activation value to form product faster

d)

Change in the ionization state of substrate or enzyme

9.

A slight change in pH value can decrease the enzyme activity while an extreme change in pH can lead to the denaturation of the enzyme.

a)

True

b)

False

10.

Radiation is one of the factors and one of it is UV lights. What enzyme is inhibited by the UV lights?

a)

Alkaline phosphatase

b)

Trypsin

c)

Salivary amylase

d)

Phenylethanolamine-N-methyl transferase (PNMT)

11.

What is Michaelis-Menten Equation?

(a)  

12.

Regarding Km

a)

It is the Michaelis-Menten Constant

b)

Measure the affinity of the enzyme

towards the substrate

c)

The unit is Moles/Litre same with [Substrate]

d)

Low Km, High affinity of the enzyme towards the substrate and vice versa

13.

Km is the concentration of substrate at half of Vmax

a)

True

b)

False

14.

Instead of a hyperbolic shape graph for [S] against the enzyme reaction (V), the Lineweaver-Burk plot is used to get the accurate value of Vmax and Km. Select all that apply.

a)

The y-intercept shows the value of Vmax

b)

The gradient shows the

enzyme concentration

c)

The x-intercept shows the value of Km

d)

This graph is also called the Double Reciprocal plot graph.

e)

It is converted to a straight line graph.

15.

What is the correct Michaelis-Menten Equation?

a)

Vo = Vmax⁡ + [S]Km + [S]V_o\ =\ \frac{V_{\max\ }+\ \left[S\right]}{K_m\ +\ \left[S\right]}

b)

Vo = Vmax⁡ [S]Km + [S]V_o\ =\ \frac{V_{\max\ }\left[S\right]}{K_m\ +\ \left[S\right]}

c)

Vo = Vmax⁡ [S]Km [S]V_o\ =\ \frac{V_{\max\ }\left[S\right]}{K_{m\ }\left[S\right]}

16.

There are a few assumptions that must be made to use Michaelis-Menten Equation. Select all that apply.

a)

The rate breakdown of ES equals the rate formation of the ES complex.

b)

[S] is very high compared to [E]. So all enzymes can bound to substrate and form ES complex.

c)

Little accumulation of product [P]. So the formation of ES from E+P is negligible.

d)

The enzyme must have a low Km value. So the enzyme can bind to the substrate easily.

17.

What is the Velocity of reaction (V)?

a)

Total [E] in the system

b)

Initial reaction activity of the enzyme

c)

The number of substrate molecules converted to product per unit time.

d)

The affinity of the enzyme throughout the reaction.

18.

Why Enzyme with low Km is active when the [S] is low and vice versa?

a)

Because low [S] means little amount so it is easier for the enzyme to bind with the substrate.

b)

Because low Km shows high affinity towards substrate so even [S] is low, it still can be activated.

c)

Because low Km means low [E], so low [E] can easily bind with low [S].

d)

Because enzyme with high [E] need is activated only when there is high [S] in the system.

19.

Below is the significance of Km except?

a)

High [S] is used so that the initial reaction rate is proportional to the [E]

b)

The appearance of P or the disappearance of S is often measured by the change in absorbance using a spectrophotometer.

c)

Low Km of the enzyme is used so that the initial reaction can be activated easily.

d)

The enzyme reaction is measured under the optimal pH and temperature condition per unit time.

20.

a)

Hexokinase and Amylase
