question
The graph presents three activation energy profiles for a chemical reaction (the hydrolysis of sucrose): an uncatalyzed reaction, and the same reaction catalyzed by two different enzymes. As the reaction progresses, energy rises and reaches the activation energy, then decreases to a value lower than in initial state. The activation energy for the uncatalyzed reaction is the greatest, for the reaction catalyzed by enzyme A it is lower, and the activation energy for the reaction catalyzed by enzyme B is the lowest. Rank these by reaction rate, as measured by the rate of product formation per unit time, from lowest reaction rate to highest reaction rate. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
answer
(From lowest to highest) Uncatalyzed Reaction, Reaction catalyzed by enzyme A, Reaction catalyzed by enzyme B
question
Complete this vocabulary exercise relating to enzymes. Match the words in the left-hand column to the appropriate blank in the sentences in the right-hand column.
answer
1. An enzyme is DENATURED when it loses its native conformation and its biological activity. 2. An enzyme is considered a CATALYST because it speeds up chemical reactions without being used up. 3. An enzyme is considered SPECIFIC because of its ability to recognize the shape of a particular molecule. 4. A COFACTOR, such as a vitamin, binds to an enzyme and plays a role in catalysis. 5. When properly aligned, the enzyme and substrate form an enzyme-substrate (ES) COMPLEX. 6. A substrate binds to an enzyme at the ACTIVE SITE, where the reaction occurs. 7. In a catalyzed reaction a reactant is often called a SUBSTRATE.
question
Identifying the highest energy form of adenosine. Select the highest energy form of adenosine from the following images.
answer
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the high-energy form of adenosine because it contains the most phosphate groups (three).
question
Which part of the adenosine triphosphate molecule is released when it is hydrolyzed to provide energy for biological reactions?
answer
Ξ³-phosphate (the terminal phosphate)
question

question
Chloroplast membrane vesicles are equilibrated in a simple solution of pH 5β€Ž . The solution is then adjusted to pH 8β€Ž . Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from these experimental conditions?
answer
