Direction: Read the following and answer the questions that follow Enzymes are organic macromolecules which are mostly proteinaceous in nature with few exceptions. These are water soluble compounds and required for catalysing biochemical reactions in living cells. They are highly specific and efficient in very small amounts. Each enzyme has a substrate binding site in order to bind and forms complex with a specific substrate. Few compounds closely resemble substrate and can inhibit the activity of enzyme. These are known to function under specific temperature, and substrate concentration. (i) The enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of ester bonds are : (a) hydrolases (b) lyases (c) transferases (d) ligases (ii) A competitive inhibitor of enzyme is: (a) penicillin (b) malonate (c) cyclosporin (d) Both (b) and (c) (iii) The factor that activates the activity of enzymes are: (a) (b) (c) (d) All of these (iv) Lyases are the enzymes which catalyse: (a) cleavage of covalent bonds (b) formation of bonds with ATP cleavage (c) transfer of functional group (d) Both (a) and (b) Identify the correct conclusions about the graph shown above: I. At optimum temperature, enzyme activity is maximum. II. At low temperature, the enzyme is inactives. III. At high temperature, enzymes get denatured. Codes (a) Only I (b) Only III (c)Only II (d) I, II and III

Texts: Part II. Selective Permeability of Membranes - Diffusion and Osmosis 3. Selectively permeable membranes let some solutes diffuse but not others. Given a problem where two different solutions are separated by a selectively permeable membrane, you are expected to predict what will happen next. Solving these problems will always involve the same set of steps: 1. Determine which solutes will diffuse and which solutes will NOT diffuse. 2. For each solute that will diffuse, calculate the equilibrium concentration on each side. 3. Add up the total solutes on each side to determine if equilibrium solutions are isotonic or if not, label each side as hypertonic or hypotonic. a. Problem: In an experiment, an artificial membrane that is permeable to ions but not larger molecules like sugars separates two solutions: 20 mM NaCl and water. Determine if there will be osmosis, and if so, draw an arrow showing the net flow of water. Process: You know NaCl will dissolve in water to give Na+ and Cl- ions; there is 20 mM NaCl, so there will be 20 mM Na+ and 20 mM Cl-. These are the initial conditions (A, below). The problem tells you that ions will diffuse through the membrane, so you need to do diffusion. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of each solute: in this problem, 20 + 0 / 2 = 10 mM on each side for both Na+ and Cl-. These are the equilibrium concentrations (B, below). Will there be osmosis? Osmosis will occur if there is a difference in the total amount of solute. In this case, there is none, so there is no osmosis (under Figure B). You do not need to draw an arrow. 10 mM Na+ plus 10 mM Cl- = 20 mM total on each side - they are the same. Go ahead and label each side as isotonic. A. Initial Conditions: 20 mM Na+ 0 mM Cl- B. Equilibrium Concentrations: 10 mM Na+ 10 mM Cl-
