1.

What type of chemical reaction would be involved in the formation of glucose from starch or glycogen?

a)

hydrolysis

b)

covalent

c)

sucrose

d)

condensation

2.

organic molecules always contain what?

a)

carbon and oxygen

b)

hydrogen and nitrogen

c)

hydrogen and carbon

d)

oxygen and nitrogen

3.

Define secondary structure

a)

The compact structure of a protein molecule resulting from the three-dimensional coiling of the already-folded chain of amino acids

b)

The structure of a protein molecule resulting from the regular coiling or folding of the chain of amino acids, e.g an alpha helix or beta pleated sheet.

c)

The three-dimensional arrangement of two or more polypeptides, or of a polypeptide and a non-protein component such as haem, in a protein molecule

d)

The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide or protein

4.

whats the function of a phospholipid ?

a)

Water is the transport medium in the blood, in the lymphatic, excretory and digestive systems of animals, and in the vascular tissues of plants

b)

The structure of a protein molecule resulting from the regular coiling or folding of the chain of amino acids, e.g an alpha helix or beta pleated sheet.

c)

Each molecule has the unusual property of having one end which is soluble in water. This is because one of the three fatty acid molecules is replaced by a phosphate group, which is polar and can therefore dissolve in water.

5.

Define tertiary structure

a)

The compact structure of a protein molecule resulting from the three-dimensional coiling of the already-folded chain of amino acids

b)

The three-dimensional arrangement of two or more polypeptides, or of a polypeptide and a non-protein component such as haem, in a protein molecule

c)

The structure of a protein molecule resulting from the regular coiling or folding of the chain of amino acids, e.g an alpha helix or beta pleated sheet.

d)

Each molecules has the unusual property of having one end which is soluble in water. This is because one of the three fatty acid molecules is replaced by a phosphate group, which is polar and can therefore dissolve in water.

6.

Define primary structure

a)

The three-dimensional arrangement of two or more polypeptides, or of a polypeptide and a non-protein component such as haem, in a protein molecule

b)

the chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water.

c)

The structure of a protein molecule resulting from the regular coiling or folding of the chain of amino acids, e.g an alpha helix or beta pleated sheet.

d)

The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide or protein

7.

Define Quaternary structure

a)

The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide or protein

b)

The structure of a protein molecule resulting from the regular coiling or folding of the chain of amino acids, e.g an alpha helix or beta pleated sheet.

c)

The three-dimensional arrangement of two or more polypeptides, or of a polypeptide and a non-protein component such as haem, in a protein molecule

d)

The compact structure of a protein molecule resulting from the three-dimensional coiling of the already-folded chain of amino acids

8.

Molecules which have groups with dipoles, such as sugars, are said to be

a)

hydrogen bond

b)

non polar

c)

covalent bond

d)

polar

9.

When atoms in molecules are held together by BLANK, they share electrons with each other.

a)

covalent bonds

b)

peptide bonds

c)

hydrogen bonds

d)

phospholipids

10.

Difference between haemoglobin and collagen

a)

To ensure that all of the sugar reacts with the Benedict's reagent

b)

The oxygen carrying pigments haemoglobin and myoglobin are proteins

c)

Haemoglobin is a globular protein meaning its 3D feature is to roll up into balls, yet collagen is a fibrous protein so its 3D feature is to form fibres.

d)

Each folded protein contains a Haem group which binds to oxygen. The major function of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and then transport carbon dioxide out of the tissue back to the lungs.
