1. Which type of bond links amino acids in proteins?
A. Hydrogen bond
B. Peptide bond
C. Ionic bond
D. Glycosidic bond
Answer: B. Peptide bond
Peptide bonds form between the carboxyl group of one amino acid
and the amino group of another during protein synthesis.
2. Which amino acid contains a sulfur atom?
A. Glycine
B. Serine
C. Cysteine
D. Alanine
Answer: C. Cysteine
Cysteine contains a sulfhydryl (-SH) group that can form disulfide
bonds important for protein structure.
3. The pH at which a molecule has no net charge is called:
A. pKa
B. Isoelectric point
C. Buffer capacity
D. Neutralization point
,Answer: B. Isoelectric point
At the isoelectric point (pI), positive and negative charges balance,
giving the molecule zero net charge.
4. Which level of protein structure refers to the sequence of amino
acids?
A. Primary
B. Secondary
C. Tertiary
D. Quaternary
Answer: A. Primary
Primary structure is the linear order of amino acids linked by peptide
bonds.
5. α-Helix and β-sheet structures are examples of:
A. Primary structure
B. Secondary structure
C. Tertiary structure
D. Quaternary structure
Answer: B. Secondary structure
Secondary structures arise from hydrogen bonding between
backbone atoms of polypeptides.
6. Enzymes function primarily by:
A. Increasing activation energy
B. Decreasing activation energy
C. Changing equilibrium constants
D. Consuming ATP directly
,Answer: B. Decreasing activation energy
Enzymes accelerate reactions by stabilizing the transition state and
lowering activation energy.
7. The molecule that binds to an enzyme's active site is called the:
A. Cofactor
B. Substrate
C. Prosthetic group
D. Product
Answer: B. Substrate
The substrate is the reactant that interacts with the enzyme's active
site to undergo chemical transformation.
8. Competitive inhibitors:
A. Bind the active site
B. Bind an allosteric site
C. Permanently inactivate enzymes
D. Destroy substrates
Answer: A. Bind the active site
Competitive inhibitors compete with substrates for binding at the
enzyme's active site.
9. Which molecule serves as the primary energy currency of the
cell?
A. NADH
B. FADH₂
C. ATP
D. GTP
, Answer: C. ATP
ATP stores energy in its phosphoanhydride bonds, which release
energy when hydrolyzed.
10. Which process converts glucose into pyruvate?
A. Glycolysis
B. Gluconeogenesis
C. Citric acid cycle
D. Pentose phosphate pathway
Answer: A. Glycolysis
Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate while
producing ATP and NADH.
11. Glycolysis occurs in the:
A. Mitochondria
B. Cytoplasm
C. Nucleus
D. Endoplasmic reticulum
Answer: B. Cytoplasm
All enzymes of glycolysis are located in the cytosol.
12. The final electron acceptor in oxidative phosphorylation is:
A. NAD⁺
B. Oxygen
C. Carbon dioxide
D. Pyruvate
