Chapter 8 : Enzyme Kinetics

Question 1

True or False. Changes in FREE ENERGY determines the direction, equilibrium state of chemical reactions only, mechanism of action and rate.

Answer 1

False. It determines the direction and equilibrium state of chemical reactions only.

Question 2

A transient intermediate in which neither free substrate nor products exists.

Answer 2

Transition state

Question 3

Field of biochemistry concerned with the quantitative measurement of the rates of enzyme-catalyzed reactions and the systematic study of factors that affect these rates.

Answer 3

Enzyme Kinetics

Question 4

A theory of chemical kinetics which states that for 2 molecules to react they must collide and possess sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the energy barrier for reaching the transition state.

Answer 4

Kinetic or Collision Theory
