Question

A biologist adds a vitamin solution, which acts as a co-factor, to an enzyme/substrate solution. What affect will this have on the enzymes in the solution?
It will increase the reactivity with the substrates.
It will decrease the reactivity with the substrates.
It will inhibit bonding between the enzyme and vitamins.
It will stimulate bonding between the enzyme and vitamins.

Is it A or B? Please someone help me thank you!

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (1).

Explanation:

Enzymes are the bio-catalyst that can increases the rate of a biochemical reaction without disturbing the reaction equilibrium. Enzymes are specific in their working and works at optimum pH and temperature conditions.

Co factors are non protein part of the enzyme. Co factors are required to increase the reactivity of the substrate so that reactions can increases with great speed.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

Answer 2

I would go with It will increase the reactivity with the substrates. Because if there is no factors, the rate of enzyme activity will increase.
