Question

1)To lower the energy barrier in a reaction, enzymes change the path of the reaction between the reactants and products by doing what?

Destabilizing the transition state by increasing the free energy to be used and lowering the activation energy

Releasing carbonic acid into the environment to stabilize the transition state and lowering the activation energy

Reduce the activation energy by stabilizing the transition state and decreasing its free energy

D.Supply heat to stabilize the reactants and lower the activation energy

2)

The [1] of an enzyme is the portion of the enzyme that binds a substrate and converts it to a product

3)

All chemical reactions require an input of energy to proceed known as the [1] to reach the transition state

is the energy of motion (released energy) and is always accompanied by  since most energy release is lost in the form of heat, and , which is the stored energy an object has due to its location and structure

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can be created or destroyed, but it cannot be converted from one form to another.

True

False

The farther away an electron is from the nucleus, the more potential energy it has. When electrons move closer to the nucleus, some of this potential energy is converted to other types of energy such as heat or light energy.

True

False

[1] occurs when a spontaneous reaction drives a non spontaneous one. For example, the hydrolysis of ATP can be used to drive the chemical reaction of converting carbon dioxide and water into a molecule of glucose (sugar).

Heat energy is very chaotic, and is therefore, hard to capture in a biological system. Thus, every time energy is converted, the [1], or amount of disorder within a system, increases.

[1] serves as a "go-between," acting as an intermediary between fuel molecules that store a large amount of potential energy in their bonds and the activities of the cell that require an input of energy.

Organisms that are able to convert carbon dioxide into glucose are self feeders and are known as . Organisms that obtain their carbon from organic molecules synthesized by other organisms are other feeders and are known as .

Activation energy

Potential energy

Gibbs state

Transition state

[1] enzymes bind to activators and inhibitors at sites that are different from the active site, resulting in a change in the shape and activity of the enzyme. These enzymes are one way that the cell coordinates the activity of multiple metabolic pathways.

Explanation / Answer

Please find the answers below:

Answer 1: Choice C (The lower is the activation energy for an enzyme catalyzed reaction, more easily is the biological catalysis performed using an enzyme. Thus, all enzymes tend to decrease the activation energy to catalyze a reaction)

Answer 2: Active site, activation energy (active site represents the main catalytic site at which the substrate binds and undergoes catalysis. Further, activation energy is the minimum energy required for initiating a biological catalysis using an enzyme)

Answer 4: Enzymes (all enzymes are biologically protein in nature and are known as biological catalysts which alter the rate of reaction without getting consumed in it)

Answer 5: Choice C (Phototrophs are those plants which require energy from the sunlight in the form of photons to perform all biological functions such as carbon fixation)
