Q

At about 0°C most enzymes are

A

Inactive

32
Q

Vitamins are essential to the survival of organisms because vitamins usually function as

A

Coenzymes

33
Q

What can be a coenzyme?

A

Vitamins

34
Q

What does an enzyme end with?

A

Ase

35
Q

Which element is present in Maltase and not in maltose

A

Nitrogen

36
Q

In enzyme controlled reactions, the role of certain vitamins such as niacin is to act as

A

A coenzyme

37
Q

What’s another word for enzymes

A

Organic catalysts

38
Q

Organic catalysts are ..

A

Enzymes

39
Q

What is an inorganic molecule missing?

A

Carbon

40
Q

What do all organic molecules have?

A

Carbon

Most Times hydrogen

41
Q

What are more than one monomers called?

A

Polymers

42
Q

Hydrolysis

A

Breaks polymers into monomers

Water is added

used to break the bond that monomers have

43
Q

Breaks polymers into monomers

How?

A

Hydrolysis

Water is added

  • to break the bond that monomers have
44
Q

Dehydration synthesis

A

Joins monomers into polymers

Water is released

  • to combine and create bonds to form a polymer
45
Q

Joins monomers into polymers

Water is released

  • to combine and create bonds to form a polymer
A

Dehydration synthesis

46
Q

Human body temperature

A

37°C

47
Q

Does the size of the substrate molecule alter the rate of hydrolysis?

A

No

48
Q

Why is high fever dangerous to humans

A

High fever is dangerous to humans because then most of your enzymes will begin to denature which leads to chemical reactions not happening fast enough to keep you alive

49
Q

Lock and key theory of enzyme function

A

The enzyme and substrate have specific forms and allow them to fit into each other perfectly to begin a reaction

50
Q

Three factors that influence the rate of enzyme activity

A

pH
temperature
concentration

51
Q

How does pH affect enzyme activity?

A

Some enzymes work better in acidic pH levels while some work better in basic levels

52
Q

How does temperature influence the rate of enzyme activity?

A

Some enzymes work better and colder temperatures while some work better and warmer temperatures. For most enzymes, when the temperature is really high the enzyme will begin to denature.

53
Q

How does concentration affect the rate of enzyme activity

A

When there’s more enzymes and substrates present, more collision will occur between them causing more product to be formed. When the concentration increases, the rate of the reaction greatly increases

54
Q

Enzymes are r________

A

Recycled/ reused

55
Q

3 or more monosaccharides

A

Polysaccharides

56
Q

2 monosaccharides
