Question

The maltose molecule can be broken down into two individual glucose molecules with the help of an enzyme produced within a cell. Which of the following changes is most likely to slow down this reaction?

Adding more maltose molecules

Increasing the volume of the cell

Adding more of the enzyme

Increasing the pH within the cell

Sorry - I was helping another student with a literary analysis.

>The maltose molecule can be broken down into two individual glucose molecules with the help of an enzyme produced within a cell. Which of the following changes is most likely to slow down this reaction?

We know that Maltose can be broken into two individual molecules of glucose with the aid of an enzyme. Now remember, enzymes can only function under proper conditions, such as temperature and Ph. So to slow down the function, you would want to limit the usage of the enzyme, correct?


> Adding more maltose molecules

> Increasing the volume of the cell

If we increase the number of Maltose molecules, then the amount of enzymes needed to catalyze the molecule will be increased thus, decreasing the time.

Answer 2

so, what was the answer. B?
