What would most likely happen to an enzyme if the pH of its environment changes drastically?

Its structure could change, reducing its activity.

It would become more efficient.

Its substrate would change shape.

How does the structure of phospholipids in the cell membrane contribute to its function?

The hydrophilic heads face outward, allowing interaction with water.

The hydrophobic tails prevent water from entering the cell.

The rigid structure prevents any movement.

The protein channels block all substances.

Why is the sequence of amino acids important in a protein?

It determines the protein's function and shape.

It makes the protein more acidic.

It increases the protein's solubility.

It allows the protein to store energy.

A student adds an enzyme to a solution containing its substrate. Which observation would best indicate that the enzyme is acting as a catalyst?

The reaction occurs faster than without the enzyme.

The enzyme is used up in the reaction.

The temperature of the solution decreases.

Which of the following best explains how RNA is involved in protein synthesis?

RNA carries the genetic code from DNA to ribosomes.

RNA stores genetic information.

RNA provides energy for the cell.

A scientist wants to investigate how temperature affects enzyme activity. Which experimental design would best test this?

Measure enzyme activity at different temperatures while keeping all other variables constant.

Use different enzymes at the same temperature.

Change the pH and measure enzyme activity.

Use different substrates with the same enzyme.

A mutation changes the sequence of bases in a DNA molecule. What is the most likely result?

The protein produced may have a different amino acid sequence.

The DNA will become an RNA molecule.

The cell will become a prokaryote.

A student observes that a certain enzyme works best at pH 7. What would most likely happen if the pH is changed to 3?

The enzyme activity would decrease.

The enzyme activity would increase.

The enzyme would become a carbohydrate.

A researcher compares the rate of a biochemical reaction with and without an enzyme. The reaction with the enzyme is much faster. What does this demonstrate about enzymes?

Enzymes lower the activation energy required for reactions.

Enzymes are used up in reactions.

Enzymes increase the temperature of reactions.

Enzymes change the products of reactions.

Given a diagram of a eukaryotic cell, how would you determine which organelle is responsible for energy production?

Identify the organelle with a double membrane and folded inner membrane.

Look for the largest organelle in the cell.

Find the organelle near the cell membrane.

Identify the organelle with ribosomes attached.

A student is given two unknown cells. One has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and the other does not. How should the student classify these cells?

The cell with a nucleus is eukaryotic; the other is prokaryotic.

The cell without a nucleus is eukaryotic; the other is prokaryotic.

A scientist wants to model how the structure of an enzyme determines its function. Which approach would best illustrate this relationship?

Build a 3D model showing the enzyme's active site and how it binds to a specific substrate.

List the types of enzymes found in the body.

Measure the mass of the enzyme.

A mutation in the DNA sequence leads to a change in the mRNA produced. How could this affect the protein synthesized?

The protein may have a different sequence of amino acids, altering its function.

The protein will always be shorter.

The protein will not be affected.

The protein will become a carbohydrate.
