(a)
Interpretation:
The effect on the rate of pancreatic amylase catalyzed reaction when pH decreases from 7 to 4 should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The enzymes are considered as the catalyst for the biochemical reaction. They involve in the biochemical reactions to speed them up but again regenerate at the end of the reaction or process. The Lock and Key model was purposed to explain the reactivity of enzymes. It states that each enzyme has certain active sites that can only allow the bonding of certain subtract molecules.
(b)
Interpretation:
The effect on the rate of pancreatic amylase catalyzed reaction when pH increases from 7 to 9 should be determined.

- List two ways that enzyme catalysis of a reaction is superior to normal conditions.arrow_forwardWhy are enzymes important? For example, what is the importance of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase in the body?arrow_forwardThe first step of the metabolic process known as glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to glucose- 6-phosphate. This process has a positive value for rG' Glucose + Pi Glucose-6-phosphate + H2O rG' = +13.8 kJ/mol-rxn This reaction is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP ATP + H2O ADP + Pi rG' = -30.5 kJ/mol-rxn What is the sum of these two equations and the value of rG' for the coupled reaction? Is the coupled reaction product-favored at equilibrium?arrow_forward
- CH3CHO + 2H+ + 2e¯ → C2H5OH, with ECH, CHO -0.19 v NAD+ + H+ + 2e¯ → NADH, with E ´NAD+ -0.32 v 1. If acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) and ethanol (C2H5OH) are mixed in the presence of NAD+ and NADH, a chemical reaction starts. Use the information above to determine the balanced chemical equation for the overall reaction that occurs spontaneously. Explain how you know that your reaction proceeds spontaneously in the direction indicated in your chemical equation. 2. In the liver, the enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of ethanol to acetaldehyde. If the reaction is allowed to proceed until equilibrium is established, how would the reaction mixture respond to the addition of the enzyme? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardQuestion 18 of 19 Submit Which of the following statements is false about catalysts? A) Enzymes are biological catalysts. B) A catalyst is consumed in a chemical reaction. C) A catalyst increases reaction rate by providing an alternate reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. D) A catalyst may undergo change during a reaction but is unchanged at the end of a reaction. E) Catalysts may be homogeneous or heterogeneous.arrow_forwardThe reaction pyruvate + NADH+H. 1 lactate + NAD is catalyzed by the enzyme lacate dehydrogenase. Suppose this reaction in the presence of some lactate dehydrogenase results in the production of 30 umol per minute of lactate when the concentration of puyruvate is 2 mmol per liter. If the concentration of pyruvate is doubled to 4 mmol per liter, how will the rate of production of lactate change? O it will double to 60 µmol per minute l O it will remain the same at 30 umol per minute it will halve to 15 umol per minute can't tellarrow_forward
- State whether the following changes will result in an increase in the reaction rate, a decrease in the reaction rate, or whether the reaction rate will be unaffected. •decreasing the surface area of a reactant •decreasing the concentration of a product •increasing the temperature •adding a catalystarrow_forwardExplain why a high energy of activation causes a reaction to be slow.arrow_forwardAccording to Le Chatelier’s Principle, does the following reaction shift towards reactants, towards products, or have no shift when carbon is removed from the following reaction?
