Enzymes - Solved MCQs with Explanations

Below are important MCQs from Nursing Biology Chapter 6 (Enzymes). Each question includes the correct answer highlighted in green and a detailed explanation to help you understand the concept.

Q1 Easy Enzyme Structure

Enzymes are biological:

A Lipids
B Catalysts
C Carbohydrates
D Nucleic acids
Explanation

Enzymes are biological catalysts (mostly proteins) that speed up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy without being consumed.

Q2 Easy Lock & Key Model

Lock and key model states:

A Enzyme shape changes
B Substrate fits exactly into active site
C Enzymes are consumed
D Substrate changes enzyme
Explanation

The Lock and Key model (Emil Fischer, 1894) states that the substrate fits exactly into the enzyme's active site like a key into a lock.

Q3 Easy Factors Affecting Activity

At high temperatures, enzymes:

A Work faster
B Denature
C Become stronger
D Replicate
Explanation

High temperatures break hydrogen bonds and other weak interactions, causing enzymes to lose their 3D shape (denature) and become inactive.

Q4 Medium Enzyme Inhibition

Competitive inhibitors:

A Bind to allosteric site
B Compete with substrate for active site
C Destroy the enzyme
D Change enzyme pH
Explanation

Competitive inhibitors have a similar shape to the substrate and compete for the active site. Their effect can be overcome by increasing substrate concentration.

Q5 Medium Induced Fit Model

Induced fit model was proposed by:

A Fischer
B Koshland
C Watson
D Mendel
Explanation

Daniel Koshland proposed the Induced Fit model in 1958, stating that the active site changes shape slightly to accommodate the substrate, like a hand in a glove.

Q6 Medium Coenzymes

Coenzymes are:

A Protein parts of enzymes
B Non-protein organic molecules that assist enzymes
C Inhibitors
D Substrates
Explanation

Coenzymes are non-protein organic molecules (often vitamins) that temporarily bind to enzymes and help in catalysis. Examples: NAD+, FAD, Coenzyme A.

Q7 Easy Factors Affecting Activity

Enzyme activity is maximum at:

A Any pH
B Optimum pH
C Very low pH
D Very high pH
Explanation

Each enzyme has an optimum pH where it shows maximum activity. Most human enzymes work best at pH 7.4, except pepsin (pH 2) and trypsin (pH 8).

Q8 Easy Enzyme Structure

Which statement about enzymes is FALSE?

A They lower activation energy
B They are specific
C They are consumed in reactions
D They are reusable
Explanation

Enzymes are NOT consumed in reactions - they are reusable catalysts. They lower activation energy and show substrate specificity.

Q9 Medium Enzyme Inhibition

Allosteric inhibition involves binding at:

A Active site
B A site other than the active site
C Inside the substrate
D Inside the nucleus
Explanation

Allosteric inhibitors bind to a site other than the active site, changing the enzyme's shape so the substrate can no longer fit properly.

Q10 Easy Enzyme Structure

The substance on which an enzyme acts is called:

A Product
B Substrate
C Cofactor
D Inhibitor
Explanation

The substrate is the molecule upon which an enzyme acts. The enzyme converts the substrate into products. The active site is complementary to the substrate.
