Questions and Answers

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?

  • 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?

  • 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
