Quiz Description

Enzyme quiz 2, a Biology quiz with questions for A level students preparing for SATs, GCE, and even GCSE. This is Enzyme quiz 2, and it is a continuation of Enzyme quiz 1 . Enzymes are very vital for the body and studies to have shown that studying enzymes to their fullest can actually lead to specialization as a profession, also in the medical field. 

Enzymes are simply biological catalysts that play a key role in speeding the biochemical reactions of the system, and remain unchanged at the end of the reaction. They function by binding themselves to active sites of substrates, after which a product is now released. This action is in two ways, the lock and key hypothesis and the induced feed mechanisms

1:

Cubes of hard-boiled egg white are placed in test-tubes containing 5 cm 3 of water. Other

substances are added to each tube as shown in the chart. The tubes are left for eight hours and

then tested for amino acids.


Which tubes show that pepsin is an enzyme?

In an experiment to investigate the effects of heat on germinating barley grains, three petri

dishes were set up as shown in diagram 1 and left for 3 days. A solution of iodine in potassium

iodide was then added to the starch-agar substrate. The results are shown in diagram 2, in which

the shaded areas went blue / black, indicating the presence of starch.
