PARTS OF AN ENZYME REACTION

QUESTION 11. Amylase is an enzyme that allows the human body to digest starch. Which of these diagrams best represents part of the structure of amylase?

QUESTION 2

Which of these correctly matches the molecule with its function?

A. lipid—stores genetic informationB. vitamin—supplies energy to cellsC. enzyme—speeds up chemical reactionsD.carbohydrate—manufactures cell

membranes

QUESTIONS 3 & 4Use the information and the diagram below to answer the following items.

Catalase is an enzyme found in the tissues of plants and animals, including humans. Catalase helps prevent a toxic buildup of hydrogen peroxide in cells by breaking it down into water and oxygen gas. Several students conduct an experiment to test the effects of pH on the activity of catalase. Each test tube contains a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water at various pH levels. The liver tissue is a source of catalase. The diagram below represents the results of their experiment.

3. Which of the following are the building blocks of catalase?

A. monosaccharidesB. nucleic acidsC. vitaminsD. amino acids

4. Based on the students’ results, catalase works best at a pH ofA. 1B. 4C. 7D. 10

QUESTION 5Use the information and the graph below to answer the following question.

Catalase is an enzyme found in plant and animal cells. Hydrogen peroxide is a harmful substance found in cells. Catalase causes hydrogen peroxide to break down into water and oxygen. A student conducted an experiment to determine whether plant and animal cells have the same amount of catalase. She used liver and potato tissues in the experiment. The student followed the procedures below.

Label two identical test tubes, 1 and 2. Pour 10 milliliters of hydrogen peroxide solution

(1% concentration) into each test tube. Add a small piece of liver tissue to Test Tube 1. Add a small piece of potato tissue to Test Tube 2. Collect the oxygen released from each test tube for

25 seconds. Measure and record the volume of oxygen for each test

tube.

The graph below shows the results from the experiment.

The student conducted a second experiment. She boiled the liver tissue completely and added it to the hydrogen peroxide solution. She observed that little to no oxygen was released in the second experiment.

5. Which of these statements best supports the student’s observations?A. Exposing catalase to high temperatures makes it inactive.B. Exposing catalase to high temperatures changes it into a different enzyme.C. Boiling liver breaks down hydrogen peroxide faster.D. Boiling removes oxygen from the liver.

QUESTION 6Use the information and the graph below to answer the following question.

Scientists wanted to study the effect of water temperature on the swimming speed of goldfish. They set up an experiment in which they raised populations of goldfish in two different aquariums. Population 1 was raised at 5°C. Population 2 was raised at 25°C. All other variables were constant in both aquariums. The results of this experiment are shown in the graph below.

6. Which of these is most affected in the cells of the goldfish when the water temperature is lowered?

A. enzyme activityB. pH levelC. DNA base sequenceD. salt concentration

QUESTION 7

Cells in the stomach produce pepsin, an enzyme, to help digest food. Pepsin works best at a pH of 2. Which of these graphs most likely shows what will happen to the activity of pepsin as the pH of the stomach is increased?

A.

B.

C.

D.
