19. Which of the following statements best describes the relationship
between an enzyme and a substrate?
a. An enzyme is like a lock that fits a particular key, which is the
substrate.
b. An enzyme and a substrate form a permanent enzyme-substrate
complex.
c. An enzyme converts the substrate into a product and then breaks
down.
d. An enzyme temporarily changes its conformation so it can better
accommodate a substrate.
20. Which of the following scenarios best describes the events
leading up to the situation shown in the diagram?
malls
charged as
a. An allosteric activator binds to an allosteric site and causes the
enzyme to have an affinity for its substrate.
b. An allosteric inhibitor binds to an allosteric site and causes the
enzyme to have low affinity for its substrate.
c. A competitive inhibitor binds to the active site of an enzyme to
block enzyme activity.
d. A noncompetitive inhibitor binds to a site that is not the active
site of an enzyme and blocks enzyme activity.
