Practice Questions

 
  • (a)
Answer:      (b) Answer: ADP + Pi → ATP (c)   Answer:
  1. Energy released in small/suitable amounts;
  2. Soluble;
  3. Involves a single/simple reaction;
  (d) Answer:
  1. ATP is unstable;
  2. ATP cannot be stored / is an immediate source of energy;
  3. Named process uses ATP ;
  4. ATP only releases a small amount of energy at a time
 
  • (a) Answer:
(b)   Answer: 1. Glucose is used/broken down during glycolysis/in cytoplasm;
  1. Glucose cannot cross mitochondrial membrane(s) / pyruvate can cross mitochondrial membrane(s);
  • Answer: Is a competitive inhibitor / attaches to active site;
  1. Reduces/prevents enzyme-substrate/E-S complex forming;
  • Answer:
  1. Krebs cycle inhibited;
  2. NAD/Coenzyme/FAD not/less reduced;
  3. Hydrogens not passed to ETC;
  4. Oxygen used as final/terminal (electron) acceptor;
 
 
  • Answer: 8;
 
  • (i)
Answer: 1. Aerobic respiration;
  1. Increase in uptake (of oxygen) with growth/reproduction/division of yeast cells; 3. Glucose/nutrients/oxygen decreases/becomes limiting / cells die / ethanol/toxins form / heat produced / anaerobic respiration occurs;
  (ii) Answer:
  1. Allow description e.g. respiration using oxygen
  2. Accept ‘oxidative phosphorylation’
  3. Ignore any reference to time
  4. Accept decrease in oxygen being linked to oxygen being ‘used up’ or equivalent
 
  • Answer: Oxygen uptake decreases/stopped;
  1. Oxygen is final (electron) acceptor/combines with electrons (and protons);
  2. Ethanol produced sooner / more ethanol produced;
      4 (a) Answer:
  1. Affects enzymes;
  2. Affects respiration;
  3. Affects volume/pressure of gases;
  4. Affects readings
(b)(i) 4 (b) (i)  1. Oxygen taken up/used (by seeds);
  1. Carbon dioxide (given out) is absorbed by solution/potassium hydroxide;
  2. Decrease in volume / pressure (inside flask);
4 (b) (ii) Answer:
  • (b) (ii) 03 mm3;
(b) Answer: 4 (c) 1. Remains the same; 2. No oxygen uptake/used; Banner 4
