Why is cellulose so difficult for most animals to digest?
1. they don’t have the proper enzyme to break the bonds between subunits
2. cellulose is made up of chitin, which is indigestible
3. the bonds holding cellulose subunits together are extremely strong, stronger than in any other macromolecule
4. there are many hydrogen bonds holding the subunits together

Catalytic efficiency of two different enzymes is compared by their :
1. Product
2. Molecular size
3. Km value
4. pH optimum value
Which statement regarding enzyme inhibition is correct?
1. Competitive inhibition occurs when a substrate competes with enzyme for binding to inhibitor protein
2. Competitive inhibition occurs when a substrate and the inhibitor compete for active site on the enzyme
3. Non-competitive inhibition of an enzyme can be overcome by adding a large amount of substrate
4. Non-competitive inhibitors often bind to the enzyme irreversibly

2. the rate of the reaction is decreased
3. the rate of the reaction is not affected
4. the reaction direction is reversed
