Question 1
How would the lack of a required cofactor for an enzyme affect that enzyme's function?
◦ The enzyme would function more quickly.
◦ The enzyme would function more slowly.
◦ The enzyme would not be able to function.
◦ The enzyme's function would not be altered.
Question 2
Enzymes are often useful as diagnostic tools. How?
◦ Damaged cells release enzymes into the blood that can be detected.
◦ The liver releases enzymes that accumulate in the urine.
◦ Enzymes destroy damaged cells so X-rays reveal smaller body organs.
◦ Enzymes destroy pathogenic bacteria so blood levels of bacteria decline.
