Lesson 6- Enzymes

Question 1

Function

Answer 1

a living system controls its activity through enzymes, they are catalysts (guide and control chemical reactions), increase the rate of reaction, act only with substrate reactant, can be used over again, decrease the activation energy required for a reaction to occur

Question 2

Regulation/Control

Answer 2

important for supply and demand, sensitive to environment conditions

Question 3

Competitive inhibitor

Answer 3

bind to the active site of the enzyme and block the substrate

Question 4

Non-competitive inhibitor

Answer 4

bind elsewhere on an enzyme and change the shape of the active site

Question 5

Allosteric regulation

Answer 5

alternate between inactive and active shape, allosteric site are receptor sites on an enzyme that stimulates the activity of an enzyme

Question 6

Allosteric activator

Answer 6

binds to an allosteric site and stabilizes the protein shape to keep all active sites available to their substances

Question 7

Allosteric inhibitor

Answer 7

binds to an allosteric site and stablizes the inactive form of an enzyme
