Chapter 2 Enzymes Short Questions 1st Year Biology Sindh Textbook board.
Q.1 Why enzymes are specific in nature? Ans Each different type of enzyme will usually act on only one substrate to catalyse one biological reaction. Enzymes are specific because different enzymes have differently shaped active sites. The shape of the active site of an enzyme is complementary to the shape of its specific substrate. This means they are the correct shapes to fit together. Q.2 why enzymes activity is directly proportional to enzymes concentration? Ans The answer is that if there are more enzymes available the more substrate will get a chance to participate in the reaction hence the more product will be formed. So if there are more enzymes more product will be formed as long as enzymes increases, if enzymes are in limited amount or enzymes decrease the reaction will also be decreased Q.3 Why enzymes are called temperature sensitive Ans The proteins in enzymes are usually globular. The intra- and intermolecular bonds that hold proteins in their secondary and tertiary struc
