Description

Here, we will be looking at Enzymes and this is the first part, quiz 1 on enzymes. Note that the body is large and complex and most chemical reactions occur in the body. These chemical reactions are slow so much so that they are aided by biological catalysts to go through quickly to completion. These biological catalysts are enzymes and they also play a key role in the sustainable development of society because they also play a central role in the chemistry of nature. In the course of this quiz, you will learn how enzymes function and act. These quizzes give opportunities to students to study such quizzes anywhere at their convenient time and the quizzes are also free.

An enzyme is a biological catalyst protein in nature and helps to speed up the rate of a specific Biochemical reaction in the cell of the body. These enzymes are not destroyed during the reaction and are used over and over again, unchanged. There are few types of enzymes, these are

  • hydrolases 
  • Oxidoreductases,
  • Lyases,
  • Transferases, 
  • ligases and
  • isomerases.

Enzyme action: Enzymes function by binding themselves to substances known as substrates, that is

  1. The enzyme and the substrate are in the same area.( Some situations have more than one substrate molecule that the enzyme will change.)
  2. The enzyme grabs on to the substrate at a special area called the active site.
  3. This process is called catalysis. 
  4. The enzyme releases the product and remains unchanged at the end.

This summary will help boost your thirst for more knowledge on this topic. Take the quiz and you will learn, even more, you will be answering 15 MCQs with a chance of 1 out of 4 to have the correct answer, so are you up to the task? Let’s find out.
Best Luck!!
