How
do enzymes increase the rate of biological reactions? Why are
enzymes needed? What do we mean by allosteric and covalent enzyme
modification when referring to an enzyme’s activity? Give a
complete description of each type of regulation and an example.

Biochemistry
Compare and contrast reversible and irreversible inhibitors.
What do they do, and what is their chemica makeup that allos them
to do what they do? use an example
For enzymes that follow Michaelis–Menten kinetics, the
inhibitors that inhibit enzyme activity include reversible
inhibitor and irreversible inhibitor.
1. Describe the type of reversible inhibitor.
2. Suggest ways to distinguish between types of inhibitors through
enzyme reaction experiments.
Vitamins serve as co-enzymes in many biochemical reactions. What
vitamins (co-enzymes) would you supply bacteria and which you would
remove from the medium to prevent accumulation of fat by
bacteria.
Microorganisms and enzymes are used as catalysts to alter the rate
of biochemical reactions. Explain with evidence and facts that how
catalysts alter the rate of biochemical reactions.
