5.1 Study Guide

Question 1

What is the relationship between the reaction rate and the temperature of an enzyme?

Answer 1

The optimal temp is 40 degrees Celsius because that is where the reaction was at its peak

Question 2

What is the relationship between an enzyme’s reaction rate and PH?

Answer 2

The optimal PH for an enzyme reaction is 7 because it would be neutral.

Question 3

Compare and contrast inhibition and activation of enzymes

Question 4

How would you maximize enzyme activity considering all of the factors?

Answer 4

You would increase the temp to 40 degrees and make the PH 7 to increase enzyme activity

Question 5

How would you minimize enzyme activity considering all of the factors?

Answer 5

You would minimize the temp and pH or make them high to decrease enzyme activity.

Question 6
