Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The Oparin–Haldane theory of the origin was discovered by two scientists, Aleksandr I. Oparin and J. B. S. Haldane, which tells that the prehistoric earth’s atmosphere enabled numerous reduction reactions that produced a large number of organic molecules.

What are enzymes?
A. Enzymes are biological catalysts made up of amino acids
B. Enzymes are biological catalysts that create an
environment to lower the energy expenditure to break "old"
bonds.
C. Enzymes are biological catalysts that provide a
mechanism to make unfavorable reactions proceed.
D. Enzymes are biological catalysts that require cofactors to
effect catalysis
E. Enzymes are biological catalysts that provide the means
to channel chemical energy to allow biological
transformations to occur
Use the image below to answer the questions:
a) What general process does the picture illustrate?
b) Briefly outline three main steps involved in this process
c) indicate why an oxygen-free environment is important
In a highly high-temperature environment, you placed an enzyme and some substrates. You've seen that there hasn't been any reaction. Applying what you have learned on enzyme activity, how would you explain what occurred?
A. The enzyme was not placed at a pH level that would allow it to react at its maximum rate.
B. There are not enough enzymes for the reaction to occur.
C. The enzyme may have denatured or broken down due to the high temperature of the environment, resulting in no reaction.
D. There are not enough substrates for reaction to occur.
Substrate concentration affects enzyme activity. Determine what would occur when there are too many substrates and fewer enzymes?
A. No enzyme activity would occur.
B. The reaction rate would continuously increase.
C. The reaction would speed up tremendously.
D. Maximal rate of reaction would occur.
Enzyme activity mainly involves the active site and the substrate. How would you compare the active site from the substrate?
A. The substrate…
