d) by binding to any substrate

A mouse was poisoned. The poison attached itself to the active site of an important enzyme. What would happen to the mouse's enzyme?
a) The enzyme would work as normal.
b) The enzyme will not be able to work with a blocked active site.

The enzyme carbohydrase can break down sugar, but it cannot break down proteins. Why is that?
a) Carbohydrase lowers the activation energy needed to break down sugars, but not proteins.
b) Carbohydrase only binds to proteins at the active site.
c) Proteins cannot be broken down by other proteins.
d) There is no reason. The reaction should have worked.
