An ice cube is placed on a table and begins to melt. The following conclusion can be made.
Energy is being created by the ice cube and is being released to the air
Energy is being created by the air and table and making the cube heat up.
Energy is being transferred from the table to the ice cube.
Energy is being absorbed by the table which causes the cube to melt.
A gas is heated by supplying it with 250 kJ of energy; at the same time, it is compressed so that 500 kJ of work is done on the gas. Calculate the change in the internal energy of the gas.

Several substrate molecules can be catalysed by the same enzyme.
A substrate binds to an active site and inhibits cooperation between enzymes in a pathway.
A substrate molecule bound to an active site affects the active site of several subunits.
A product of a pathway serves as a competitive inhibitor of an early enzyme in the pathway.

Which of the following is true of enzymes?
Enzyme function is independent of physical and chemical environmental factors such as pH
Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reaction by lowering activation energy barriers.
Enzymes may require a nonprotein cofactor or ion for catalysis to take speed up more
