questions

1. Reaction of Enzyme Q

a. Explain what happens during stage II

Only substrate P can fit into the active site of enzyme Q. Substrate R cannot be catalysed by
enzyme Q because it cannot fit the active site of the enzyme.
b. What is the characteristic of enzyme shown in the diagram above
The enzyme action is specific
c. Why only a small amount of enzyme Q is needed in the reaction
The same enzyme can be reused because it structure remains the same after each reaction
d. Enzyme Q is an extracellular enzyme. Write a correct sequence of the cell components
involved in the production of enzyme Q.
Ribosome → rough endoplasmic reticulum → transport vesicle → Golgi apparatus → secretory
vesicle → plasma membrane

2. Diagram below shows the change in energy level of a reaction taking place without a presence of
enzyme

a. What will happen if enzyme is added into the reaction?

The reaction becomes faster

b. Explain
Enzymes lower the activation energy of the reaction. Thus, more reaction can occurs at the faster
rate

3 (a) The rate of reaction becomes constant. At the maximum rate, the concentration of the substrate
becomes the limiting factor.

(6) The rate of reaction increases because enzyme can catalyse more substrates
4 (a) P: 15 °C. A moderate amount of stain left indicates only certain enzymes are in action. Some
enzymes are inactive at this temperature.
