E) none of the above 15. Which of the following usually causes denaturation of a protein? A) high temperatures B) change in pH C) change in salt concentration D) B and C E) all of the above 16. Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding enzymes? A) Enzymes increase the rate of a reaction. B) Enzymes lower the activation energy (EA) for a reaction. C) The substrate for an enzyme binds to the enzyme's active site. D) Enzymes make nonspontaneous reactions become spontaneous E) Enzymes are very specific for the substrates they bind to

Explanation / Answer

11. The answer is hydrolysis.

Hydrolysis- It means breaking a compound.

Anabolism means synthesis.

12. The answer is to release energy.

As anabolism is a process which absorbs energy. Anabolism is a non-spontaneous process.

The non-spontaneous process is a process which is an uphill process. Its delta G is also positive. And it absorbs energy.

13. B. energy produced from an exergonic reaction.

14. tertiary structure

15. all of the above. All can cause denaturation of a protein

16. d

because all apply to enzymes whereas d option doesn't.

Enzymes can never convert a non-spontaneous reaction to spontaneous reaction as they do not affect the overall delts G of the reaction.
