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. Vitamins
- B. Carbohydrates
- C. Lipids
- D. Proteins
Explanation: Most coenzymes are vitamins or are derived from vitamins. Vitamins are organic compounds that are essential in very small (trace) amounts…
Correct answer: Vitamins- A. Coenzyme
- B. Blocker
- C. Inhibitor
- D. Cofactor
Explanation: An inhibitor is a chemical substance which can react (in place of substrate) with the enzyme but is not transformed into product(s) and…
Correct answer: Inhibitor543. All enzymes are:
- A. Globular proteins
- B. Fibrous proteins
- C. Glycoproteins
- D. Lipoproteins
Explanation: Enzymes are mainly globular proteins - protein molecules where the tertiary structure has given the molecule a generally rounded, ball shape
Correct answer: Globular proteins- A. If the concentration is doubled the rate will become two-fold.
- B. If the concentration is doubled the rate will become one-fold.
- C. This relation is for an unlimited time period with unlimited enzyme concentration.
- D. All of these options are correct.
Explanation: The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the rate of change in concentration of a reactant or product divided by its coefficient from…
Correct answer: If the concentration is doubled the rate will become one-fold.- A. are bacterial enzyme
- B. convert RNA to DNA
- C. hydrolyze protein into amino acids
- D. get mutated for DNA repair
Explanation: Restriction enzyme, also called restriction endonuclease, a protein produced by bacteria that cleaves DNA at specific sites along the…
Correct answer: are bacterial enzyme- A. Slightly acidic
- B. Slightly basic
- C. Highly acidic
- D. Highly basic
Explanation: Enterokinase has an optimal pH of 5.5, which classifies it as slightly acidic.
Correct answer: Slightly acidic547. Holoenzyme is?
- A. Protein part of enzyme
- B. Non-protein part of enzyme
- C. Complete enzyme
- D. Inactive enzyme
Explanation: A holoenzyme is the complete, active form of an enzyme. It is composed of an apoenzyme, which is the protein portion, and one or more…
Correct answer: Complete enzyme- A. Irreversible inhibition
- B. Reversible inhibition
- C. Competitive inhibition
- D. Non competitive inhibition
Explanation: Non-competitive inhibitors obstruct enzymatic reactions by binding to a part of the enzyme away from the active site.
Correct answer: Non competitive inhibition549. Enzymes are...
- A. Carbohydrates

Explanation: Enzymes lower the activation energy by changing conditions within the active site.
Correct answer: Changing conditions within the active site- A. Carbohydrates
- B. Proteins
- C. Lipids
- D. Vitamins
Explanation: Enzymes are primarily proteins that serve as biological catalysts, facilitating and accelerating biochemical reactions by lowering the…
Correct answer: Proteins- A. By adding activation energy requirements.
- B. By lowering the activation energy requirements.
- C. By decreasing the concentration of products.
- D. By increasing the concentration of products.
