SECTION D
Q. Nos. 29 and 30 are case based questions. Each question has subparts with internal choice in one
subpart.

29. Enzymes are catalysts that, within the mild conditions of temperature, pH, and pressure of
the cells, carry out chemical reactions at amazing high rate. They are characterized by a
remarkable efficiency and specificity. Substrates are the substances on which enzymes
act.

Enzymes are named by adding the suffix - ase to the name of the substrate that they 1+1
modify (i.e., urease and tyrosinase), or the type of reaction they catalyze (dehydrogenase, +1+
decarboxylase). Some have arbitrary names (pepsin and trypsin). The International Union 1=
4
of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology assigns each enzyme a name and a number to
identify them.

Enzymes are classified into six categories according to the type of reaction catalyzed:

Oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, ligases, and isomerases.

 Structurally, the vast majority of enzymes are proteins. Also RNA molecules
have catalytic activity .

Coenzymes are small non-protein molecules that are associated to some enzymes.
Many coenzymes are related to vitamins. Coenzymes and the protein portion with
catalytic activity or apoenzyme form the holoenzyme. The apoenzyme is responsible for
the enzyme’s substrate specificity. Coenzymes undergo changes to compensate for the
transformations occurring in the substrate

i. What are RNA molecules that have catalytic activity known as?

a. ribosome b. Ribozyme

c. RNA polymerase d. None of the

ii. How do enzymes help us?

a. They speed up rate of biochemical reaction

b. They reduce the activation energy required for a biochemical reaction.

c. They remain unused after the reaction

d. All the above.

iii. The rate of the enzymatic reaction is directly proportional to the amount of enzyme
present in the sample. If we go on increasing the substrate concentration the enzyme
activity will increase till

a. All substrate molecules are saturated b. Till all enzyme molecules are saturated

c. Till all the conditions are favourable d. None of the above.

iv. Coenzymes are small non-protein molecules that are associated with some enzymes.
Many coenzymes are related to vitamins. Coenzymes and the protein portion with
catalytic activity or apoenzyme form______________

a. Apo enzyme b. Cofactor

c. Coenzyme d. Holoenzyme
 OR

The minimum amount of energy required to initiate a chemical reaction is called

a. Enzymatic energy b. Initation energy
c. Substrate energy d. Activation energy
30. The CO2 released in the bundle sheath cell enters the C3 pathway, a pathway common to all
plants. The bundle sheath cells are rich in an enzyme RuBisCO but lacks PEPcase.
