Questions and Answers

Which of the following best defines enzymatic specificity?

  • The ability of an enzyme to bind to multiple substrates
  • The ability of an enzyme to bind to a specific substrate and catalyze a specific reaction (correct)
  • The ability of an enzyme to bind to any substrate and catalyze any reaction
  • The ability of an enzyme to catalyze multiple reactions

What happens if an enzyme loses its specificity?

  • The enzyme becomes inactive
  • The enzyme becomes less efficient (correct)
  • The enzyme becomes unstable
  • The enzyme becomes more efficient

Why is enzymatic specificity important in biological systems?

  • It allows for the production of multiple products from a single substrate
  • It allows for the recycling of enzymes
  • It increases the speed of enzymatic reactions
  • It prevents unwanted side reactions (correct)
