Question

Homework # 16: Enzymes Late assignment will be given a grade of "0. Due Date 1. An enzyme is primarily made out of a (hint what food group). catechol+ oxygen (0a) Catecholasepolyphenol 2. Looking at the equation above, the enzyme in this reaction is: 2. A. Catechol B. Oxygen C. Catecholase D. Polyphenol 3. Looking at the same equation as question 2, what is the substrate? A. Catechol B. Oxygen C. Catecholase D. Polyphenol What is the name of the enzyme that catalyzes the structural rearrangement of isomers? 4. model states that the substrate fits perfectly into the 5. The 5 14dit mmocle active site of the enzyme model states that the enzymes are flexible structures. 6.adnad 6. The When the substrate fits into the active site of the enzyme, the enzyme will undergo a conformation shape change until the substrate is perfectly bound. dle Question # 7-10 Match the following question with A. competitive inhibition or B. non-competitive inhibition 7. 7. The inhibitor closely resembles the real substrate. 8. The inhibitor binds at a site other than the active site on the enzyme 9. Both substrate and inhibitor compete for binding to the active site of the 9. enzyme 10. The inhibitor changes the shape of the enzyme after binding to the enzyme, 10 disrupting its normal function. inhibitors form strong covalent bonds with the enzymes, 11 causing the destruction of enzymes. 12. 12. Vitamin A, D, E, and K are examples of water-soluble vitamins B. False A. True

Answer 1

Ans 1 : protein

The enzyme is also called as biocatalysts of our body as it increases the rate of biochemical reactions in our body. These enzymes are usually proteinaceous in nature.

Ans 2 : C) Catecholase

Catecholase is the enzyme used in this reaction. It does not get used up in the reaction , it just increases the rate of reaction.

Ans 3 : A) Catechol

Catechol is the substrate in the reaction. It reacts with oxygen in the presence of enzyme and gets converts into product polyphenol.

Ans 4 : Isomerase

Isomerase as the name suggests is the enzyme that causes the conversion of one isomer to the other.
