Essay Questions
38. Do all cells contain the same active enzymes? Support your answer.
No, different enzymes are present and active at different times, depending on the needs of the
cells producing the enzymes. Cells control what happens within themselves by controlling
what enzymes are present, where they are placed, and whether they are active. Please see
section 05.05.
39. What happens to enzymes when the temperature increases beyond their optimal reaction
requirement?
The enzyme becomes denatured. Chemical bonds that maintain the enzyme's shape and
configuration are too weak to hold the peptide chains in their proper position. Please see
section 05.04.

Chapter 05 - Energy and Life
Enzymes can be regulated by a mechanism called feedback inhibition, where the product of
the reaction acts as the repressor. Enzyme inhibition can occur in two ways. Competitive
inhibitors compete with the substrate for the active site on the enzyme. Noncompetitive
inhibitors can bind to the enzyme at the allosteric site, changing the shape of the enzyme and
making it unable to bind to the substrate. Please see section 05.04.
An ATP molecule is composed of three parts. First, a ribose sugar molecule serves as a
backbone to which the other two parts are attached. Next, there is adenine, one of the four
nitrogenous bases found in a DNA molecule. Finally, there is a chain of three phosphates.
Please see section 05.06.
Reactants are sometimes called substrates and are the molecules that enter a chemical
reaction. Products are the results of a chemical reaction. Please see section 05.03.

Chapter 05 - Energy and Life
Answers may vary but should include topics shown in table 05.01: ATP can be used to
drive endergonic reactions, muscle contraction, the activation of molecules, coupled transport
and active transport through the cell membrane, cytoplasmic transport within the cell,
flagellar movements and cell crawling, and the production of heat. Please see section 05.06.
The phosphates in the ATP molecule carry negative charges and repel each other. In this
way, they are poised to push apart and contain a considerable amount of potential energy.
When the endmost phosphate of ATP is broken off, a sizeable energy packet is released, along
with ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and an inorganic phosphate. The addition of energy to
ADP and Pi can regenerate ATP, and thus a cycle of releasing energy from ATP to do work in
the cell alternating with regenerating ATP makes up the ATP-ADP cycle. Please see section
05.06.
