Which of the statements about enzymes are true? Generally, an enzyme is specific for a particular substrate. For example, thrombin catalyzes the hydrolysis of the peptide bond between Arg and Gly. An enzyme yields a specific product, whereas a nonbiological catalyst may produce more than one product with the occurance of side reactions. Catalysis occurs at the active site, which usually consists of a crevice on the surface of the enzyme. A substrate must bind to the active site before catalysis can occur. Nonbiological catalysts and enzymes tend to have a similar degree of reaction specificity.

An enzyme has an optimal pH of 7.1 and an optimal temperature at 37° C. Which statement describes a reaction catalyzed by this particular enzyme at a constant temperature of 20° C? the reaction will slow down and then increase as the temperature increases O there is no effect O the reaction will be slower than if it ran at 37° C O the enzyme will provide an alternate active site so the reaction can proceed the enzyme will be denatured
