5111. Which factor cannot denature the protein?

Moderate
  • A. pH change
  • B. Increase of temperature
  • C. Oxidizing condition
  • D. Dissolving in H2O

Explanation: The deformation or disruption of protein structure under specific conditions is called denaturation of proteins. Denaturation Occurs byHeat changePH changeUndcebrasutgroeng oxidizing or reducing conditions.

Correct answer: Dissolving in H2O

5112. Which of the following elements is not present in all proteins?

Moderate
  • A. Carbon
  • B. Hydrogen
  • C. Sulphur
  • D. Nitrogen

Explanation: All proteins contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen except sulphur.

Correct answer: Sulphur

5113. Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of groups within molecule are called:

Moderate
  • A. Isomerases
  • B. Lyases
  • C. Transferases
  • D. Ligases

Explanation: Isomerases are enzymes that catalyze the rearrangement of atoms within a molecule, converting one isomer into another. They do not necessarily involve the transfer of functional groups between molecules.

Correct answer: Isomerases

5114. Enzyme used for the treatment of blood cancer in children is:

Moderate
  • A. Cellulose
  • B. Urease
  • C. L-asperginase
  • D. Lactic dehydrogenase

Explanation: L-asparaginase is the correct option because it is an enzyme used in the treatment of blood cancer in children, particularly acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). L-asparaginase works by depleting the levels of the amino acid asparagine in the blood, which is necessary for the survival of leukemia cells. By depriving the leukemia cells of asparagine, L-asparaginase helps to inhibit their growth and induce apoptosis (cell death).

Correct answer: L-asperginase

5115. Enzymes from the same organism which catalyze same reaction but are chemically and physically distinct from each other are:

Moderate
  • A. Oxidoreductases
  • B. Hydrolases
  • C. Isoenzymes
  • D. Isomerases

Explanation: Isoenzymes is the correct option because they are enzymes from the same organism that catalyze the same reaction but are chemically and physically distinct from each other. Isoenzymes often have different kinetic properties, such as substrate affinity or reaction rate, and may be expressed in different tissues or under different conditions.

Correct answer: Isoenzymes

5116. Rate of enzymatic reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of:

Moderate
  • A. Enzyme
  • B. Substrate
  • C. Enzyme and substrate
  • D. Enzyme and product

Explanation: The rate of an enzymatic reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of substrate. This is because enzymes catalyze reactions by binding to substrates and converting them into products. When there is more substrate available, there are more opportunities for the enzyme to bind to substrate molecules and catalyze the reaction. However, once all enzyme molecules are saturated with substrate, increasing the enzyme concentration will not further increase the reaction rate. Therefore, the rate of enzymatic reaction is directly related to the concentration of substrate.

Correct answer: Substrate

5117. The rate of reaction is directly proportional to:

Moderate
  • A. [Enzyme]2
  • B. [Enzyme]3
  • C. [Enzyme]
  • D. [√[Enzyme]]

Explanation: The rate of reaction is directly proportional to the square root of the enzyme concentration, represented as [√[Enzyme]]. This relationship is derived from the Michaelis-Menten kinetics equation for enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

Correct answer: [√[Enzyme]]

5118. The substrate binds with the enzyme at:

Moderate
  • A. Polar site
  • B. Cationic site
  • C. Active site
  • D. Anionic site

Explanation: This is the correct option. The active site is the specific region on the enzyme where the substrate binds and undergoes the catalytic reaction. It has a complementary shape and chemical environment to the substrate.

Correct answer: Active site

5119. Many enzymes contain a protein part and a non-protein part, the non-protein part is called?

Moderate
  • A. Apoenzyme
  • B. Coenzyme
  • C. Cofactors
  • D. Both B and C

Explanation: The protein component of the enzyme is called apo-enzyme and the non-protein component is called the co-enzyme. The co-enzyme is also known as co-factor.

Correct answer: Both B and C

5120. The group of compounds that is primarily responsible for building of body of an animal and its maintenance is called:

Moderate
  • A. Vitamin
  • B. Carbohydrate
  • C. Lipids
  • D. Proteins

Explanation: The group of compounds that is primarily responsible for building of body of an animal and its maintenance is called protein.

Correct answer: Proteins
