Concept explainers
Match the description of the enzyme process with its type of regulation.
(a) The product of a series of 10 reactions inhibits the third reaction in the series.
(b) An enzyme is produced in an inactive form that becomes active only after several amino acids are removed.
(c) A small molecule binds to enzyme
(d) There are two forms of an enzyme. One is more active than the other. The most active form becomes less active when a particular amino acid on its surface is methylated.
(e) An enzyme is made up of four subunits. There are two types of subunits with slightly different isoelectric points, and different permutations are found in different tissues of the body.
1. Covalent modification
2. Isozymes
3. Allosterism
4. Feedback Inhibition
5. Zymogens

- The process by which an enzyme acts on the substrate can be described by the: a. lock-and-key model. b. enzyme-and-substrate model. c. enzyme folding model. d. catalytic model.arrow_forwardDraw a graph that shows the effect of increasing substrate concentration on the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction (at constant temperature, pH, and enzyme concentration).arrow_forwardBased on the graphical information in Problem 21-41 about enzymes A and B indicate whether the enzyme activity of enzyme B increases or decreases when the following changes in reaction conditions are made. a. pH decreases from 7.6 to 7.2 b. pH increases from 7.2 to 7.4 c. temperature decreases from 37.8C to 37.6C d. temperature increases from 38.2C to 38.4Carrow_forward
- Describe the importance of zymogens in the body. Give an example of an enzyme that has a zymogen.arrow_forwardExplain how the pasteurization of milk utilizes one of the factors that influence enzyme activity.arrow_forwardThe site on an enzyme molecule that does the catalytic work is called the: a. binding site. b. allosteric site. c. lock. d. active site.arrow_forward
