Enzymes can speed up the rate of reaction by shifting the equilibrium of the reaction forward. Enzymes can make a nonspontaneous reaction spontaneous. Most enzymes are made up of DNA and RNA and are named based on the reaction that they catalyze. Enzymes can increase the rate of a reaction, but do not shift the equilibrium of a reaction.arrow_forward
- Enzymes are key components in biological reactions. Which of the following statements about enzyme function in biological systems is FALSE? Enzymes are key components in biological reactions. Which of the following statements about enzyme function in biological systems is FALSE? Enzymes increase the rate of a reaction, but do not change the free energy of a reaction. Enzymes frequently work in metabolic pathways, such that the activity of one enzyme can affect the activity of a second enzyme in the pathway by altering the concentration of a substrate or product of the second enzyme. Enzymes will alter the equilibrium of a reaction such that the enzyme increases the exergonic reaction relative to the endergonic reaction. Even if the enzyme forms a bond with a substrate during a reaction, the enzyme returns to its original form at the end of the reaction.arrow_forwardIn order to avoid wasting cell resources, feedback mechanisms to regulate enzyme activity are a feature of: Group of answer choices. Choose Allostery Kinetics Thermodynamics Metabolismarrow_forwardCoenzymes function to: change the shape of enzymes, allowing different additional substrates to bind. denature the enzyme, stopping the chemical reaction from occurring. interact directly with enzymes, either enabling the reaction to occur or making the substrate-enzyme interaction more efficient. dilate blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow, allowing more substrate to reach enzymes. absorb excess hydrogen and hydroxide ions, keeping the pH relatively stable, so that reactions can occur most efficiently.arrow_forward
- The shape of the enzyme dictates how it reacts with other molecules in reactions. If anything happens to affect the shape of the enzyme, the reaction will either slow down or stop altogether. Which of the following factors can affect the shape of enzymes? Select all that apply.arrow_forwardAs the amount of substrate is increased in an enzyme-substrate reaction, which of the following will happen? the reaction is inhibited the amount of product increases. enzymes become denatured faster. enzymes work faster. the amount of enzyme also increases proportionally.arrow_forwardEnzymes are biological catalysts that enhance the rate of a reaction by: stabilizing the transition state. decreasing the amount of free energy released. increasing the activation energy. increasing the amount of free energy released. O increasing the energy in the transition state.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is NOT true? None of the other four answers (all are true) The energy required to cause a chemical reaction to occur is called the activation energy Decomposition (degradation, catabolic) reactions are usually endergonic Chemical reactions in living cells are catalyzed by enzymes Enzymes increase the probability that a chemical reaction will take place by lowering the activation energyarrow_forwardHomeostasis is important for all of the functions of the human body. Why is maintaining homeostasis important for enzymes? Group of answer choices: To maintain their normal structure and function To prevent substrate from binding to the enzyme To allow the substrate to bind forever To cause the enzyme to fold differently for each reactionarrow_forwardWhat are the steps for an enzyme to create a product in order: The energy of activation is lowered so the reaction can happen quicker. Substrate attaches to the active site. The product is created and released from the active site. The energy of activation is lowered so the reaction can happen slower. A specific substrate attaches to the active site.arrow_forward
