5(A)Enzymes and Enzyme ActivityEasy1 mark
Describe a characteristic of an enzyme’s active site that allows it to catalyze a specific chemical reaction.
5(B)Proteins: Structure and FunctionEasy1 mark
Based on Figure 1, explain how the binding of amino acid A to enzyme 1 is regulated by amino acid B.
5(C)ATP, Glycogen and Lipid and Amino Acid MetabolismEasy1 mark
Using the information in Figure 1, identify the product of the reaction catalyzed by enzyme 2.
5(D)Enzymes and Enzyme ActivityEasy1 mark
Based on Figure 1, explain how a change in pH could affect enzyme 3 in such a way that amino acid B cannot be produced.
