Which of the following statement regarding enzymes is false?

a) A

b) B

c) C

d) D

Question 5

Which of the following statements regarding the use of catalysts is false?

a) Catalysts lower the activation energy for a reaction

b) Catalysts increase the proportion of molecules that possess sufficient energy to clear the activation energy barrier

c) Catalysts increase the number of reactions that can happen spontaneously

d) Catalysts provide an alternative reaction pathway from reactant to product

Question 6

Enzyme-catalysed reactions do not involve a transition state. True or false?

a) True

b) False

Question 7

Which one of the following statements regarding Vmax and KM is false?

a) Vmax is the maximum rate at which a particular enzyme-catalysed reaction can proceed.

b) KM is the concentration of substrate at which the rate of the reaction reaches Vmax

c) A small value of KM tells us that an enzyme binds strongly to its substrate

d) A large value of KM tells us that an enzyme shows little specificity for a given substrate

Question 8

Which of the following statements regarding enzymes is false?

a) A given enzyme catalyses just one type of reaction

b) While most enzymes are proteins, some are composed of RNA

c) The activity of enzymes is typically impaired at high temperatures

d) Enzymes act to lower the activation energy of a reaction by stabilising the transition state, but do not participate chemically in the reaction

a) Michaelis-Menten

b) Lineweaver-Burk

c) Hanes

Question 10

a) Noncompetitive

b) Competitive

c) Uncompetitive

 

Which of the statement regarding enzyme is false?

An enzyme allows the reaction to go through a more stable transition state than would normally be the case. An enzyme provides an alternate pathway having lower activation energy. The statement (C) is false with respect to an enzyme's ability to catalyses a reaction.

Which of the following statements is true about enzymes?

Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is (b) Enzymes can require vitamin or mineral cofactors for their function. Enzymes are proteins that function to catalyze chemical reactions in living organisms.

Which of the following is true about enzyme Mcq?

This statement about enzymes is true: Enzymes accelerate reactions by lowering the activation energy. Enzymes are proteins whose three-dimensional form is key to their function. Enzymes do not alter the overall change in free energy for a reaction.

Which statement regarding pH and enzyme function is false?

Enzyme structure can be compromised if the pH is either too low or too high this is also false statement because enzyme denatured at high pH and temperature and does not work efficiently below its optimum pH and temperature. Hence, enzyme structure cannot be compromised if pH is either too low or too high.
