COST-LAB QUESTIONS: 1. What happens to enzyme activity as the enzyme concentration is increased? 2. Based on your results, what is the optimum pH for lactase? 3. Do all enzymes in the body have the same optimum pH? Why or why not? 4. What happens to enzyme activity as the substrate concentration is increased? Explain why this occurs.
In enzymes, what happens to the rate of reaction as the temperature increases? Explain in terms of how molecules collide and product conversion rates. What happens to the enzyme activity if you infinitely increase the temperature?
3. "Enzymes affect reaction rates, not equilibria." This is a fundamental concept of enzyme action. Explain, in your own words, why enzymes cannot alter the equilibrium of a reaction. Then explain how enzymes can actually speed up a reaction. 4. How is the activation energy AG different from the biochemical standard free energy change AG"? 5. Explain why AG's p can be different from AG p.s. Describe the implication of this difference in terms of the direction of the reaction...
1. What are the different sources of energy available to living organisms? 2. How do the acquisition and the use of energy by living organisms work according to the laws of thermodynamics? 3. Explain the energy use in the following reactions: endergonic/exergonic. 4. What is metabolism? How are chemical reactions related to metabolism? Why is energy needed to run a metabolism? What are coupled reactions? 5. Draw a picture of ATP. Why is this molecule so important for cells? How...
Enzymes 1. Briefly describe three factors that could alter the activity of an enzyme. 2. How do you think the optimal temperature for enzymes found in thermophile bacteria living in hot pools differ from that of the enzymes found in your body? 3. How do you think the optimal pH of enzymes in the stomach compares to the optimal pH for enzymes in blood? 4. Take a look around your house and identify household products that work by means of...
1.What is an enzyme? What type of macromolecule are enzymes most often composed of? Using a chemical equation explain enzyme reactions? Using a diagram explain how enzymes work by lowering activation energy. 2.Why do we attempt prevent the growth of some or all microbes-list several reasons why this might be valuable or necessary? Discuss three methods of physical control of microbes. List 5 different categories of chemical agents used in microbial control and discuss each. What are antibiotics? How have...
