An enzyme that has lost its shape a. is denatured and no longer func.pdf

An enzyme that has lost its shape a. is denatured and no longer functional. b. is denatured but
still functional. c. is not different from a regular enzyme as shape is not important. d. can be
restored by extreme temperatures or pH swings. Predict whether each of the following has ionic,
polar covalent, or not O_2
Solution
7) Each enzyme has specific active sites. When an enzyme loses its shape then its active sites are
no longer functional. As a result, the properties of the enzyme are destroyed. This process is
called denaturation.
Therefore, an enzyme that has lost its shape is denatured and no longer functional.
(Answer) (a)
8) In oxygen molecule (O2), two oxygen atoms are joined by double covalent bond. The bonds
are formed by sharing of electron pairs. The electron pairs are equally shared between two
oxygen atoms. For this reason, oxygen molecule has non-polar covalent bonds..
