Question

question 22 (1 point)
if the patients enzymes had been permanently denatured (destroyed) instead of just inhibited, what additional problem would occur?
o a enzyme activity will never recover even if the ph returned to normal
o b the enzyme - substrate complex would produce excess atp (energy)
o c enzymes would dissolve more nutrients and speed up digestion
o d the active site would lose its shape, and substrates could no longer bind

question 23 (1 point)
doctors stabilized the patients ph, and enzyme activity slowly returned to normal. what does this indicate in this case?
o a they evolved to work at multiple ph levels simultaneously
o b they relied only on cohesion and adhesion to operate
o c they were not destroyed but temporarily unable to function
o d they were replaced by newly made enzymes overnight

Explanation:

For Question 22: Enzymes that are permanently denatured have lost their three - dimensional structure. The active site, which is crucial for substrate binding, is deformed. This means substrates can no longer bind. For Question 23: When enzyme activity returns to normal after pH stabilization, it indicates that the enzymes were not destroyed but were only temporarily non - functional due to the pH change.

Answer:

Question 22: D. The active site would lose its shape, and substrates could no longer bind
Question 23: C. They were not destroyed but temporarily unable to function
