I: | Almost all enzymes are proteins. |
II: | Some nucleic acids can behave like enzymes. |
III: | No enzyme in living organisms can function above 40 °C. |
IV: | Enzymes are the reason that chemicals react with each other. |
V: | Enzymes are not sensitive to pH in their environment. |
In general, with every 10oC rise in the temperature [in the range 0oC to 40oC], the rate of enzyme catalyzed reaction:
1. Becomes half
2. Gets doubled
3. Remains same
4. There is no such correlation in general
Statement I: | Whether it is an exothermic or spontaneous reaction or an endothermic or energy requiring reaction, the ‘S’ has to go through a much higher energy state or transition state. |
Statement II: | Enzymes eventually bring down this energy barrier of activation energy making the transition of ‘S’ to ‘P’ more easy. |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
Assertion (A): | Enzyme-catalyzed reactions proceed at rates vastly higher than that of uncatalyzed ones. |
Reason: | Enzymes require an optimum temperature and an optimum pH to work efficiently. |
1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
1. | Enzymes work by increasing the temperature of substrates. |
2. | Enzymes reduce the activation energy needed for a reaction. |
3. | Enzymes provide ATP to reactions. |
4. | Enzymes permanently change shape after a reaction. |
1. | First, the substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme, fitting into the active site. |
2. | The binding of the substrate induces the enzyme to alter its shape, fitting more tightly around the substrate. |
3. | The active site of the enzyme, now in close proximity of the substrate, breaks the chemical bonds of the substrate and the new enzyme- product complex is formed. |
4. | The enzyme gets consumed in the reaction while releasing the product. |
Low temperature:
1. Preserves enzyme in a temporary inactive state
2. Denatures the enzyme
3. Makes enzyme more active
4. Does not have any affect on enzyme activity
