Molecular Biology – HL – Revision Test

1. Prevents build up of intermediate products in a chain of reactions

The product of this chain of reactions when created in excess becomes an inhibitor
This lets it stop anymore reactions

2. Breakdown of complex molecules into simpler molecules

These reactions release energy

3. Made by linking beta glucose (straight)

Condensation reaction between carbon -OH group 1 and carbon -OH group 4
Alternate being up and and down, keeping it a chain

4. ____ are fats that are straight in a chain, as they are chemically synthesized from an oil.

5. DOES NOT BIND AT ACTIVE SITE

Causes change of shape in enzyme
Makes enzyme not able to bind with substrate

Matching questions

1. Carbohydrates

2. Lipids

3. Glycerol

4. Cis unsaturated fats

5. Monosacharides
1. a Insoluble in water
Includes sterioids, waxes, fatty acids, triglycerides,
2. b _____ are fats that are bent due to this double bond that causes the unsaturation
They are not as bad for you as they are less dense
3. c Single sugar unit
brought together through a condensation reaction to form a polysaccharide
4. d Composed of Carbon Hydrogen and Oxygen
Always have a Hydrogen:Oxygen ratio of 2:1
5. e 3 Carbon molecule
Building block in fats along with fatty acids
has a C-O-C ester bond with fatty acids
Goes through condensation reaction

Multiple choice questions

1. Branched form of starch
Found in Humans
Lots of branching, allowing molecule to be compact
Number of glucose molecules can be increased or decreased.

a. Glycerol

b. Cellulose

c. Proteins

d. Glycogen

2. Where an end product inhibitor affects the enzyme

. Starch

3. Composed of amino acids
All contain carbon hydrogen oxygen and nitrogen

. Lipids

a. Glycogen

b. Proteins

c. Starch

4. Is a long carbon chain with no double bonds

On one side is a carboxyl group
On other side is a carbon with 3 hydrogens

. Unsaturated fatty acids

a. Saturated fatty acids

b. Cis unsaturated fats

c. Amino Acids

5. Is a long carbon chain with double bonds

Two types: Cis and Trans

. Trans unsaturated fats

a. Cis unsaturated fats

b. Saturated fatty acids

c. Unsaturated fatty acids

True/False questions
1. Metabolism → Sum of all reactions in body

True False
 2. Competitive inhibitors → BINDS WITH active site
Cause substrate not to bind

True False

3. Amino Acids → Single sugar unit

brought together through a condensation reaction to form a polysaccharide

True False

4. Anabolism → Synthesis of complex molecules from simpler molecules

These reactions use energy

True False

5. Starch → Made by linking alpha glucose (curved)

It is curved not straight
Made by condensation reactions between -OH groups on carbon 1 and carbon 4

True False
