Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability.
1. Which of the following factors would decrease the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction?
Increasing substrate concentration
Decreasing temperature below optimal
Increasing enzyme concentration
Adjusting pH to optimal level
2. What is the primary role of an enzyme in a biochemical reaction?
To act as a reactant
To increase the activation energy
To speed up the reaction rate
To change the products of the reaction
3. Enzymes are biological that speed up the rate of biochemical reactions.
4. The specific region on an enzyme where the substrate binds is called the .
5. When an enzyme loses its specific three-dimensional shape due to extreme conditions, it is said to be .
6. All enzymes function optimally at the same temperature and pH.
True
False
7. Increasing substrate concentration will always increase the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction indefinitely.
True
False
8. Explain how temperature affects the rate of enzyme activity.
9. Describe the 'lock and key' model of enzyme action.
