  • Q6
    The graph shows the effect of changing the substrate concentration on the early stages of an enzyme-catalysed reaction. What can be interpreted about the rate of reaction from the graph?
    Question Image
    Rate of reaction increases linearly with increasing substrate concentration.
    Rate of reaction increases up to a point and then remains constant.
    Rate of reaction increases non-linearly with increasing substrate concentration.
    Rate of reaction is not affected by any change in the substrate concentration.

  • Q8
    Which statement correctly describes genome and proteome?
    Only mutations in the proteome but not in the genome cause any variability.
    In cells of different tissues, the genome is the same while the proteome varies.
    Only the genome but not the proteome can be analysed using gel electrophoresis.
    The genome and the proteome are the same in all tissues in an organism.

  • Q9
    The graph shows the effect of increasing the substrate concentration on the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction. What is occurring during the phase indicated by section Y of the graph?
    Question Image
    The enzyme becomes denatured.
    The substrate concentration has risen too high.
    The optimum rate is reached.

  • Q12
    Which is an effect of protein denaturation?
    The three-dimensional structure of the protein is altered.
    The bonds between amino acids are broken by condensation.
    Parts of the protein become linked together by hydrolysis.
    The order of amino acids is changed when the protein overheats.

  • Q15
    What effect do changes in pH have on enzymes?
    The activity of all enzymes is reduced by a pH below or above 7.
    Low pH causes reversible denaturation in all enzymes.
    All enzymes increase in activity as pH increases.
    Extreme pH can alter the active site of all enzymes.
