  1. Question 1

    Enzymes are primarily composed of:

    • AProteins
    • BLipids
    • CCarbohydrates
    • DNucleic acids
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The textbook states that enzymes are primarily proteins.

  2. Question 2

    Typically, enzymes contain approximately:

    • A10 to 50 amino acids
    • B50 to 100 amino acids
    • C100 to 1,000 amino acids
    • D1,000 to 2,000 amino acids
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    The textbook states that enzymes typically contain 100 to 1,000 amino acids.

  3. Question 3

    Enzymes possess a three-dimensional:

    • AGlobular structure
    • BLinear structure
    • CDouble-stranded structure
    • DFibrous wall
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The textbook states that enzymes possess a three-dimensional globular structure.

  4. Question 4

    The globular structure of an enzyme allows it to form:

    • AActive sites
    • BCell walls
    • CNucleotides
    • DFatty acids
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The globular structure allows enzymes to form active sites that bind specifically to substrates.

  5. Question 5

    Enzymes are highly specific to the reactions they:

    • ACatalyse
    • BInhibit
    • CStore
    • DTransport
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The textbook states that enzymes are highly specific to the reactions they catalyse.
