Why is respiration rate closely linked to enzyme activity in the cells of an organism?

Cellular respiration is a process that requires oxygen. So when you breathe you take in oxygen to that your mitochondria can use it to create ATP.

What is the effect of hydrochloric acid on the enzyme activity?
Denature enzyme activity
What is the purpose of GUAIACOL?
Guaicol is used as a substrate for peroxidase activity, when we treat it with enzyme the activity of enzyme increases at a higher rate.
What is inhibition and why enzymes need to be inhibited?
- Inhibition of an enzyme is to inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme. - Because, by blocking or inhibiting an enzyme's activity can kill a pathogen or correct a metabolic imbalance. Example : Inhibition of HIV protease.
Changes in pH or temperature decrease enzyme activity because bonds break and the enzyme returns to its tertiary structure?
Changes in pH or temperature decrease enzyme activity because bonds b reak and the enzyme returns to it's PRIMARY structure. (not tertiary)
What is the Effect of dilution on enzyme activity?
At a high ion concentration, the ion interfere with the bonds between the side groups of the amino acids making up the enzyme (which is a protein). This causes the enzyme to lose its shape, called denaturation. If the enzyme loses its shape, it can no longer accept and react substrate, so the rate of enzyme activity decreases.
What can you do to regain the activity of the enzyme?
The enzyme is inactive at this point. New enzyme must be added to regain enzyme activity
What is the effect of hydrochloric acid on the enzyme activity?
Denature enzyme activity
What are the effects of physical activity on enzyme activity?
Physical activity can alter the shape of enzyme which can cause damage or may the enzyme become inactive
Phosphofructokinase is an important control enzyme in the regulation of cellular respiration of cellular respiration What is statement that describes a function of phosphofructokinase?
it is an allosteric enzyme.
What are the effects of freezing on enzyme activity?
When an enzyme is frozen, it only slows down activity. Unlike boiling an enzyme, it does not stop it from working.
What switchs on enzyme activity while what can switch off or reduce enzyme activity?
activators; inhibitors
What is the effect of cold temperatures on enzyme activity?
Cold temperatures have a drastic effect on an enzyme's activity level. Cold temperatures usually dramatically slow down an enzyme's activity.
What can change the way an enzyme acts?
Enzyme activity is affected by other molecules, temperature, chemical environment (e.g., pH), and the concentration of substrate and enzyme. Activators are molecules that encourage enzyme activity, and inhibitors are enzymes that decrease enzyme activity. Sometimes a cofactor is necessary for the enzyme to work.
Do trees do cellular respiration?
Yes, all organisms perform cellular respiration. It is the process by which enzyme-catalyzed reactions break down organic molecules and produce energy in the form of ATP. This energy is used by the cells (of the organism) to perform work.
Enzyme in all steps of respiration?
NADH
Which organism was the smallest?
the organism that was the smallest was peroxide which is a type of an enzyme
Which blocks enzyme activity by binding to the site of an enzyme?
inhibitor
