AP Biology Unit 8

How does an enzymes shape relate to its function?

• the shape of the enzyme has no relation to its function

• the enzyme is shaped specially for certain substrates to perform a specific reaction

• the enzyme shape acts as a receptor to certain products

• the enzyme shape can fit into specific substrates to cease a reaction

What's going on in this picture?

• The enzyme is taking the red substrate and turning it blue

• The enzyme's active site is blocked by a competitive inhibitor

• The enzyme can't function if too many substrates are trying to bind

• This is an example of an anabolic enzyme reaction

What is a substance called if it speeds up a chemical reaction?

• reusable

• catalyst

• specific

• fragile

With what 3 letters do enzymes typically end?

• -ose

• -ase

• -ese

• -tic

Enzymes are an example of

• Lipids

• Carbohydrate

• Protein

• Nucleic Acid

Any substance that is acted upon by an enzyme is called a(n)?

• Coenzyme

• Substrate

• Vitamin

• Polypeptide

Where do substrates bind on an enzyme?

• voltage-gated channels

• surface receptor

• calcium channels

• active site

The amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur is called the _________?

An activor or inhibitor binding place that is not the active site, causing the enzyme to change conformation (shape) is an example of ...

• competative inhibition

• allosteric control

• optimum conditions

• induced fit

The chemical process that is happening from left to right is called:

• dehydration synthesis

• hydrolysis

• capillary action

• nitrogen cycle
