Two substances are used to produce a certain biological product in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction.It is found that both substrates must bind to the enzyme,first one,then the other before the product is produced.This is an example of a(n)________.
A)linear reaction
B)ordered sequential reaction
C)random sequential reaction
D)ping-pong reaction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given scenario describes an ordered sequential reaction, where both substrates have to bind to the enzyme in a specific order before the product is produced. In contrast, a random sequential reaction would allow the substrates to bind to the enzyme in any order, while a ping-pong reaction involves the transfer of a functional group from one substrate to the enzyme before the second substrate binds. A linear reaction involves a single substrate producing a single product without any intermediate steps.
