You design an experiment to explore glucose production for enzymes exposed to different pH solutions. For this experiment you use the same amount of enzyme, substrate and water. You alter the pH giving you four treatments; pH 3, pH 5, pH 7, pH 9. All treatments and reagents are at room temperature. You perform 25 trials for each pH (3, 5, 7, 9), the averages glucose production is shown in the graph. Amount of glucose (mg/dL) 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 10 20 [Select any/all that apply.] 40 30 Time (minutes) 50 60 pH 3 pH5 -pH 7 pH 9
Enzyme kinetics
In biochemistry, enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Catalysis is the addition of a catalyst to a chemical reaction to speed up the pace of the reaction. Catalysis can be categorized as either homogeneous or heterogeneous, depending on whether the catalysts are distributed in the same phase as that of the reactants. Enzymes are an essential part of the cell because, without them, many organic processes would slow down and thus will affect the processes that are important for cell survival and sustenance.
Regulation of Enzymes
A substance that acts as a catalyst to regulate the reaction rate in the living organism's metabolic pathways without itself getting altered is an enzyme. Most of the biological reactions and metabolic pathways in the living systems are carried out by enzymes. They are specific for their works and work in particular conditions. It maintains the best possible rate of reaction in the most stable state. The enzymes have distinct properties as they can proceed with the reaction in any direction, their particular binding sites, pH specificity, temperature specificity required in very few amounts.
