QUIZ
Chapter 5: Enzymes

Clue Answer
An enzyme is a __________ catalyst. BIOLOGICAL
1.
Enzymes provide an alternative pathway with lower ACTIVATION
2.
__________ energy to speed up the rate of a chemical
reaction.
This is a digestive enzyme that converts fats to fatty acids and LIPASE
3.
glycerol.
Enzymes are highly __________ in their action. Each reaction SPECIFIC
4.
can only be catalysed by one type of enzyme.
Enzymes are made up of __________. PROTEINS
5.
This hypothesis states that an enzyme reaction depends on the LOCK-AND-KEY
6.
presence of ‘pockets’ on the enzyme into which the substance
it acts on fits.
Enzymes are most active at their __________ temperature and OPTIMUM
7.
pH.
This is the change in three-dimensional structure of an DENATURATION
8.
enzyme caused by extreme heat.
Chemicals such as _____ and alkalis may cause an enzyme to ACIDS
9.
lose its three-dimensional shape.
10. When an enzyme loses its three-dimensional shape, the ACTIVE
__________ site is lost. Hence, no reaction can occur.
11. In an enzyme-catalysed reaction, the __________ must collide SUBSTRATE
and bind to the enzyme to enable chemical reaction to take
place.
