Which type of attachment between the molecule and the enzyme changes the enzymatic activity?

  • A.Metallic
  • B.Covalent
  • C.Peptide
  • D.Glycosidic bond

Answer: B

Correct answer: Covalent

Covalent modification - the attachment or removal of a group such as phosphate, methyl, acetyl or ADP-ribose - changes an enzyme’s activity by altering its charge and shape. It is a true chemical bond, so the change persists until another enzyme reverses it, which is what makes it a switch rather than a rheostat.
