2-Enzyme activity typically occurs within a very broad pH range.

2-False

the optimal temperature for most enzymes?

20 to 40 degrees Celsius

What is the enzyme we will be using in lab today?

ALP

A denatured enzyme can catalyze a chemical reaction.

False

ALP catalyzes the hydrolysis of _______________ attached to proteins or lipids.

Phosphate Group

What macromolecule is an enzyme classified as?

Protein

When an enzyme's reaction rate doubles for every 10 degree Celsius increase in temperature it's called the Q10 effect.

True

What color will the product of today's experiment (pNP) turn?

Yellow

What happens if either the enzyme or substrate is limited?

he enzyme's reaction rate will remain constant

What is the in vitro substrate for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) that we will be using in lab?

pNPP
