Enzyme Lock and Key

Enzymes are:

• Are not living and are globular proteins.

• Are living and are globular proteins.

• Are living and are non-globular proteins.

• Are not living and are non-globular proteins.

Define the word substrate (choose best answer):

• The molecule that an enzyme acts on. It has a specific shape that fits the enzyme.

• The molecule that an enzyme acts on.

• The area where the molecule fits into an enzyme

• The shape of the active site

Define the word "active site" (choose best answer):

• The molecule that an enzyme acts on. It has a specific shape that fits the enzyme.

• The molecule that an enzyme acts on.

• The area where the molecule fits into an enzyme

• The area where the molecule fits.

Which is statement is true?

• Enzymes are biological catalysts which lower the activation energy needed to start a reaction by providing a alternative pathway

• Enzymes are biological catalysts which raise the activation energy needed to start a reaction by providing a alternative pathway

• Enzymes are live organisms which lower the activation energy in a pathway

• Enzymes are non-biological catalysts which lower the activation energy needed to start a reaction by providing a alternative pathway
