I need help p/z I have exam tomorrow 13. Of the following characteristics, which one is not true about enzymes? a. They are essential to the metabolism of cells for the conversion of energy. b. They function best at specific temperatures but break down at high temperatures. c. Some enzymes need activators or cofactors. d. They function best at a particular pH. e. They undergo major chemical change after reacting with their specific substrate.

That means they accelerate reactions \(\sf without\) being consumed. So 1 enzyme molecule can speed up many reactions because they stay the same after a reaction is completed.

OpenStudy (cady):

thnx so which 1 de right answer

thomaster (thomaster):

Based on the information i just gave you, what do you think is the correct answer?

OpenStudy (cady):

b

thomaster (thomaster):

No B is not the answer because enzymes do function best at an optimum temperature.

OpenStudy (cady):

yeah

thomaster (thomaster):

When compounds are consumed in the reaction, they would change chemically. Enzymes are not 'consumed' in reactions.

OpenStudy (cady):

is that e

thomaster (thomaster):

Yes E is correct \(\Huge\ddot\smile\)

OpenStudy (cady):

thnx so much

thomaster (thomaster):

You're welcome :)
