Frage 1
Frage
Which of these are functions of proteins in the human body?
Antworten
-
Antibodies
-
Catalysts
-
Energy stores
-
Hormones
-
Toxins
-
Structural components
Frage 2
Frage
True or false? Enzymes have a specific shape called the active site so each enzyme can only catalyse one type of reaction.
Antworten
- True
- False
Frage 3
Frage
Which of these provides the best description of the lock-and-key model of enzyme action?
Antworten
-
When an enzyme finds a substrate, it releases tiny molecules which act as "keys" to the particular "lock" of the substrate, helping to catalyse the reaction.
-
When a substrate (the lock) comes into contact with the enzyme (the key) with the correct active site, the two chemicals form an enzyme-substrate complex which allows the reaction to be catalysed.
-
Enzymes block passageways in the body which can be only opened if the substrate comes and the reaction is catalysed.
Frage 4
Frage
Which of these are examples of reactions involving enzymes?
Antworten
-
Breaking down large molecules into small molecules
-
Building large molecules from small molecules
-
Changing one molecule into another
-
Making molecules disappear
-
Causing molecules to diffuse across a partially permeable membrane
Frage 5
Frage
True or false? The optimum pH of action for any enzyme is always pH7.
Antworten
- True
- False
Frage 6
Frage
True or false? If the core body temperature rises too much above 37°C (hyperthermia) then enzymes change shape and denature - they cannot catalyse any reactions.
Antworten
- True
- False

Frage 11
Frage
Which of these are functions of bile?
Antworten
-
Makes absorption of small soluble particles easier
-
Neutralises hydrochloric acid in the stomach and makes the conditions alkaline
-
Emulsifies drops of fat into smaller droplets, increasing surface area for enzyme action
-
Carries protease enzymes for digestion of protein
Frage 12
Frage
True or false? Pepsin is produced in the stomach because its optimum pH is around pH2.
Antworten
- True
- False
Frage 13
Frage
True or false? Bile is an enzyme.
Antworten
- True
- False
Frage 14
Frage
Which of these are advantages of using biological washing powders?
Antworten
-
They run at lower temperatures so use less energy to heat the water
-
They can cause allergic reactions in some people
-
They can digest protein-based fabrics such as wool
-
They contain proteases which are effective in removing stains such as blood and sweat
Frage 15
Frage
Why do we use protease enzymes in baby foods?
Antworten
-
To make the baby food taste more pleasant
-
To pre-digest proteins as babies have low levels of proteases
-
To remove biological stains such as sweat and blood

Antworten
-
Amylase
-
Fructase
-
Zymase
-
Isomerase
Frage 17
Frage
Which of the following sugars is used in slimming foods as it has a sweeter flavour for the same level of sweetness and so is required in smaller amounts?
Antworten
-
Glucose
-
Mannose
-
Sucrose
-
Fructose
-
Lactose
Frage 18
Frage
True or false? There are concerns about using enzymes in industry because they may enter waterways with unknown effect on aquatic life.
Antworten
