4. The rate with which enzymes can transform a substrate varies
from enzyme to enzyme, and sometimes substrate to substrate. a) How
are competitive and uncompetitive reversible inhibition similar?
How is their effect on rate different? b) Enzyme reaction rates
drop off dramatically as temperatures pass 50 °C or so, and do not
return to their previous rate when cooled. Explain the drop off in
activity and the lack of return to the previously higher reaction
rates after heating. c)...
If the substrate concentration is limiting, how does increasing
enzyme concentration affect reaction rate?
A.Increasing enzyme concentration has no effect on reaction
rate.
B.Increasing enzyme concentration results in an increase in
reaction rate.
C.Increasing enzyme concentration decreases reaction rate.
Which of the following statements about enzyme substrate
complexes is TRUE?
A. At high substrate concentration the rate of the
reaction is first order.
B. The enzyme concentration is higher than the substrate
concentration under physiological conditions.
C. Alteration in the conformation of the enzyme may
occur when substrate binds.
D. Increase in enzyme concentration does not affect the
rate of the reaction.
Describe what you think would happen to a cell that was missing
the ligase enzyme and tried to replicate its DNA? Explain what this
would mean for replication, and what it would mean for the
organism.
1)Which of the following is true of enzyme characteristics? (a)
enzymes catalyze reactions when a substrate binds to the allosteric
site (b) enzymes catalyze reactions by increasing the activation
energy (c) enzymes do not exhibit specificity and a single enzyme
can catalyze various different reactions (d) enzymes lower the
activation energy of specific reactions, speeding up the reaction
rate
2) Microbial growth is measured by what parameter? (a) increased
cell size (b) increased size of cellular components (c) increase in...
What would happen if at rest, there was no concentration
gradient for Na+ or K+?
You have a muscular dysfunction that lacks
T-tubules. How might this affect muscle
contraction?
You have a muscular dysfunction that lacks sarcoplasmic
reticulum. How might this affect muscle
contraction?
You have a muscular dysfunction that lacks voltage-gated
channels. How might this affect muscle contraction?
You have a muscular dysfunction that lacks chemically-gated
channels. How might this affect muscle contraction?
If tropomyosin is never moved off actin, what would be...
1a) what is the relationship between substrate
concentration and reaction rate?
b) Describe how the enzyme structure is
effected:
i) below the optimal
temperature
ii)above the optimal
temperature?
c)Why is enzyme activity reduced at pH values above or
below the optimum? How does the enzyme structure change at
non-optimum pH?
