The enzyme glutamine synthetase catalyzes the following reaction: glutamate + ATP + NH3 ? glutamine + ADP + phosphate Which of the following statements about this reaction is correct? a. The rate of oxygen production will be unaffected b. The reaction is only endergonic if enzyme is added c. The reaction is only exergonic if enzyme is added d. The reaction is endergonic whether or not enzyme is added e. The reaction is exergonic whether or not enzyme is added

Step 1
Endergonic reactions require an input of energy, while exergonic reactions release energy. In this case, ATP is being converted to ADP and phosphate, which is a common way to release energy in biological systems. Show more…

Which of the following statements about enzyme-catalyzed reactions is true? Enzymes always drive reactions toward chemical equilibrium. The free-energy change of the reaction is greater than when the same reaction occurs in the absence of an enzyme. The rate of the reaction is greater than when the same reaction occurs in the absence of an enzyme. Energy from ATP is required to activate the enzyme before it can catalyze the reaction.

Which of the following statements concerning enzyme-catalyzed reactions is NOT correct? (a) Enzymes increase the reaction rate by lowering the activation energy (b) Enzymes increase the reaction rate by stabilizing the transient state of reactants (c) Enzymes increases the reaction rate by increasing the equilibrium constant (d) Enzyme activity may be affected by changes in pH (e) None of the above 4. A competitive inhibitor of an enzyme has all of the following properties EXCEPT; (a) Has a structure similar to the substrate (b) May have a higher affinity to the enzyme than the substrate (c) Binds to the active site of the enzyme (d) Increases the Km value (e) None of the above
