Free Enzymes MCQs with Answers
633 Enzymes MCQs from Biology, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.

- A. Assist in enzyme synthesis
- B. Assist in enzyme inhibition
- C. Assist in enzyme activity
- D. Both A and B
Explanation: Co-factors are organic or inorganic molecules that help to assist in the enzymatic activity.
Correct answer: Assist in enzyme activity- A. Cofactor
- B. Coenzymes
- C. Activator
- D. Enzymes
Explanation: Option D is correct as "enzymes" catalyse reactions and don't take part in the response; therefore, they do not change.
Correct answer: Enzymes- A. Collisions between enzyme and substrate molecules increase because of increased kinetic energy.
- B. Collisions between enzyme and substrate molecules increase because of increased heat energy
- C. Collisions between enzyme and substrate molecules increase because more active sites are available
- D. Collisions between enzyme and substrate molecules increase because more substrate molecules are available
Explanation: Option C is correct as increased enzyme concentration allows for a higher frequency of effective "collisions between enzyme and substrate…
Correct answer: Collisions between enzyme and substrate molecules increase because more active sites are available- A. Enzyme-substrate complex
- B. Enzyme complex
- C. Eubstrate complex
- D. Structural complex
Explanation: The enzyme substrate complex is a temporary molecule formed when an enzyme comes into perfect contact with its substrate.
Correct answer: Enzyme-substrate complex- A. Coenzyme
- B. Holoenzyme
- C. Cofactor
- D. Apoenzyme
Explanation: NAD is a coenzyme that mediates redox reactions through a transfer of electrons between NAD+ (its oxidized form) and NADH (its reduced…
Correct answer: Coenzyme- A. Vitamin B
- B. Vitamin B1
- C. Vitamin B2
- D. All of these
Explanation: All of the water-soluble vitamins and two of the fat-soluble vitamins, A and K, function as cofactors or coenzymes.
Correct answer: All of these- A. 30
- B. 35
- C. 32
- D. 37
Explanation: Enzymes of the human body work to their maximum at their optimum temperature which is 37 degrees Celsius, also equal to our normal body…
Correct answer: 37- A. Ionic
- B. Covalent
- C. Hydrogen
- D. Metallic
Explanation: Enzymes require cofactors which are involved in the formation of enzyme-substarte complex and formation of product.
Correct answer: Covalent- A. Allosteric enzymes
- B. Inhibitors
- C. Regulators
- D. None of these
Explanation: Regulatory enzymes are specialized forms of enzymes that have specific roles in metabolism, and their activity can be modulated by factors…
Correct answer: Regulators- A. Fat soluble vitamins
- B. Minerals
- C. Fats
- D. Water soluble vitamins
Explanation: . Option D is correct since water-soluble vitamins are readily absorbed by water and are immediately available to tissues for consumption.
Correct answer: Water soluble vitamins- A. Reversible
- B. Irreversible
- C. Both a and b
- D. None of these
Explanation: Enzyme-catalyzed modifications can be both reversible and irreversible, depending on the specific reaction and the enzyme involved.
Correct answer: Both a and b292. What would you predict would happen to pancreatic enzymes if they were introduced to the stomach?
- A. Their function would decrease due to increased pH
- B. Their function would decrease due to decreased pH
- C. Their function would increase due to decreased proton concentration
- D. Their function would increase due to decreased pH
Explanation: The optimum pH for pancreatic enzymes if pH 5-10, whereas the pH in the stomach is around 1-2, so function decreases as the enzymes can be…
Correct answer: Their function would decrease due to decreased pH- A. 1
- B. 2
- C. 3
- D. 4

Correct answer: Methyl group- A. They have a primary structure
- B. They have a secondary structure
- C. They have a tertiary structure
- D. All of the above
