Study Notes
Fermentation Conditions
- Yeasts perform fermentation in the absence of oxygen, under high temperature, low pH, and high osmotic pressure.
- All listed conditions are correct for yeast fermentation.
Enzyme Active Site
- The active site of an enzyme is located on the enzyme itself, not on the substrate.
- True or false: The statement regarding the active site is false.
Substrate Concentration and Reaction Velocity
- Increasing substrate concentration boosts reaction velocity until all enzyme active sites are occupied.
- Once saturation occurs, adding more substrate does not increase the reaction rate.
Measuring Enzyme Activity
- Enzyme activity can be assessed by determining:
- Amount of substrate consumed
- Amount of product produced
- Equivalence of substrate and product can also indicate activity.
Optimum Conditions for Enzymes
- Optimum conditions for enzyme function refer to the environment where an enzyme operates best, which can vary (e.g., 60°C, room temperature).
Enzyme Function
- Enzymes enhance reaction rates by lowering activation energy required for reactions to proceed.
- They do not raise activation energy or produce heat to facilitate reactions.
Catalase Activity Measurement
- Catalase activity is measured by observing the formation of oxygen gas during the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide.
- Other methods, such as measuring catalase amounts or ratios, are less direct for assessing activity.
Substrates and Reactants
- In enzyme-controlled reactions, substrates are equivalent to reactants.
- They are not products, enzymes, or inhibitors.
Controlled Experiments with Catalase
- Negative controls in catalase experiments may involve mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and water, or other combinations that exclude catalase.
- Specificity of catalase can be demonstrated by comparing its activity in different mixtures.
Fermentation Products
- The fermentation process in yeasts produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethanol (C2H6O), yielding 2 ATP molecules.
- Alternative outcomes involving different ATP yields or products are incorrect.
Yeast Fermentation Efficiency
- Yeast can generate 2 ATP per glucose molecule during fermentation.
- This fact confirms the efficiency of yeast in anaerobic conditions.
