Enzymes

Question 1

describe competitive inhibition

Answer 1

inhibitors competing with substrates for the same active site

Question 2

describe non competitive inhibition

Answer 2

inhibitors bind to the enzyme at a binding site that is not the active site

Question 3

how does an increase in inhibitors influence the rate of reaction

Answer 3

decreases the rate of reaction

Question 4

what is the job of an enzyme

Answer 4

catalyze a reaction

Question 5

how is activation energy effected by the presence of enzymes

Answer 5

reduced

Question 6

name one way of denaturing an enzyme

Answer 6

heat up the reaction

Question 7

what protein structure do enzymes take

Answer 7

primary

Question 8

describe an active site

Answer 8

a small depression on the enzymes surface

Question 9

what is the lock and key model

Answer 9

enzyme active site and substrates are a perfect match for eachother

Question 10

what is the induced fit model

Answer 10

enzyme active site changes to fit the shape of the substrate
