Consider the Two Chemical Reactions

Question 92

Matching

Consider the two chemical reactions.Identify each statement following as True or False, and clarify as needed.
A + B → C
C → A + B

Premises:

Responses:

Equilibrium can be prevented from occurring by constantly removing the product of either reaction.

True

Both reactions must be occurring in an equilibrium situation.

False

The enzyme catalyzing the formation of C must be the same as that catalyzing the breakdown of C.

An equilibrium, once established, cannot be disturbed.

Only one of the reactions could occur in a given cell or system.

Equilibrium is always achieved in a chemical reaction.

The enzyme catalyzing the formation of C must be different from that catalyzing the breakdown of C.
