What happens in a successful collision between an enzyme and substrate?
What happens in a successful collision between an enzyme and substrate?
- The substrate is broken down and products are released. (correct)
- More active sites become free.
- The enzyme is permanently altered.
- The substrate is released unchanged.
All active sites of an enzyme can be filled with substrate molecules.
All active sites of an enzyme can be filled with substrate molecules.

Study Notes
The Heart and Blood Flow
- Ventricles have more muscle than atria, resulting in a larger QRS complex amplitude compared to the P wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG).
- Blood pressure and flow rate decrease with distance from the heart.
Enzyme Kinetics
- Enzyme activity depends on the number of free active sites.
- Increasing substrate concentration initially increases reaction rate, but plateaus when all active sites are saturated.
- Enzyme concentration becomes the limiting factor when all active sites are saturated.
Cell Structure
- Eukaryotes: DNA is enclosed within the nucleus.
- Prokaryotes: DNA is loose in the cytoplasm.
Protoctista and Plantae Characteristics
- Protoctista: Single-celled or multicellular, eukaryotic, have mitochondria, some have chloroplasts, 80S ribosomes, some have vacuoles, some have cellulose cell walls, autotrophic or heterotrophic nutrition.
- Plantae: Multicellular, eukaryotic, have nucleus, have mitochondria, have chloroplasts, 80S ribosomes, have ER, a large permanent vacuole, cellulose cell walls, autotrophic nutrition.
Advantages of Eukaryotic Cells
- Harmful chemicals like enzymes can be isolated in organelles.
- Substances with specific functions, like chlorophyll, can be concentrated in one area.
Anaerobic Respiration: Hydrogen Removal
- Animal Muscle Cells: In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate is converted to lactate, regenerating NAD.
- Micro-organisms and Plant Cells: Under certain conditions, pyruvate is converted to carbon dioxide and ethanal, with ethanal being reduced to ethanol, regenerating NAD.
Chromosomes
- Chromosomes are composed of DNA and proteins.
