What is the effect of exposing enzymes to very high temperature?
What is the effect of exposing enzymes to very high temperature?
- It has no effect on the enzyme structure
- It causes denaturation, an irreversible process (correct)
- It enhances the enzyme activity
- It leads to the formation of new bonds in the enzyme
Why is the specific shape of enzymes important for their function?
Why is the specific shape of enzymes important for their function?
- It accelerates the denaturation process
- It allows the enzyme to work at any temperature
- It prevents the enzyme from interacting with the substrate
- It ensures the substrate will fit into the active site (correct)
What happens if the pH deviates significantly from the optimum pH for an enzyme?
What happens if the pH deviates significantly from the optimum pH for an enzyme?
- The enzyme will denature, causing a loss of activity (correct)
- The enzyme will change its shape to adapt
- The enzyme will become more efficient
- The enzyme will catalyze reactions at a faster rate
