Questions and Answers

What is the main reason ribozymes are exempted from the classification of most enzymes as proteins?

  • They are RNA molecules, not proteins (correct)
  • They are larger than typical enzymes
  • They are not specific to a substrate
  • They are not involved in catalyzing reactions
  • What happens to the active site of an enzyme when it is dissociated into subunits?

  • It loses its ability to attract cofactors
  • It is disrupted, affecting the enzyme's catalytic activity (correct)
  • It becomes more specific to a substrate
  • It becomes more efficient in accelerating reactions
  • What is the role of cofactors in enzyme activity?

  • Provide additional chemical components that are mostly inorganic ions (correct)
  • Act as substrates for the enzyme
  • Enhance the specificity of the enzyme to a substrate
  • Increase the size of the enzyme
