1

What are proteins made from?

a

nucleic acids

b

lipids

c

amino acids

2

What store genetic information?

a

carbohydrates

b

proteins

c

nucleic acids

3

Why are phospholipids well suited for forming cell membranes?

a

they are energy storage molecules

b

they are sugars

c

their water-attracting heads and water repelling tails form a bilayer

4

Why do carbohydrates in fruits support cellular processes?

a

they store genetic information

b

they can be broken down into sugars used for energy

c

they form cell membranes

5

Why is the 3-dimensional shape of an enzyme important?

a

it allows the enzyme to bind specific substrates

b

it forms a bilayer

c

it stores genetic information

6

How does high temperature affect enzymes?

a

makes them more specific

b

increases the rate of all reactions

c

changes the shape so the active site changes and they may work less effectively

7

What are lipids used for besides cell membranes?

a

quick source of energy

b

long term energy storage

c

they list enzymes

8

Carbohydrates are often used for what in cells?

a

long term energy storage

b

to store genetic information

c

quick source of energy for cells

9

What does the structure of DNA store?

a

protein sequences

b

lipid composition

c

genetic information in its nucleotide sequence

10

Why do lipids help form the cell membrane?

a

they are soluble in water

b

they have hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions that organize into a barrier in water

c

they store genetic information

11

What effect does a mutation have on an enzyme's activity?

a

increases its speed

b

has no effect on function

c

changes its shape so the reaction slows
