It is the region on the surface of the enzyme which binds to the substrate molecule

100

True or False:

Enzymes can be changed/consumed by reactions

False

Name the nucleotides

A/T/C/G

Adenosine

Thymine

Cytosine

Guanine

Who was the Bills quarterback in 1990?

Jim Kelly

200

The active site and the substrate complement each other in terms of ________ 

Shape 

200

What are enzymes?

- globular protein 

- acts as biological catalyst and does so by speeding up the rate of a chemical reaction

200

Define the term: complementary base pairing

  • Each base will only form hydrogen bonds with one other base - complementary base pairing - (A-T and C-G) 

200

Who's model first suggested semi-conservative replication, AND came up with the 3D structure of DNA

Crick and Watson's

200

Name any Christopher Nolan directed movie.

Following, Memento, Insomnia, the Dark Knight trilogy, The Prestige, Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, Tenet, and Oppenheimer.

300

What can cause enzymes to stop working?

Acid 

Super hot temperatures

Incorrect DNA code

300

What type of molecule ends with the suffix 'ase'?

Enzymes

300

Define semi-conservative replication

Each of the DNA molecules produced has one new strand and one strand conserved from the parent molecule

300

True or False

Two strands of the DNA molecule are separated by breaking the hydrogen bonds between their bases, this is done by DNA polymerase

False.

It's the helicase

300

What's the rarest common blood type?

AB-

400

What is the name of the enzyme that breaks down lactose

Lactase

400

Catalase, Lipase, Pepsin and Amylase are all enzymes you are required to know what are the products of each of these enzymes once enzyme catalysis is completed?

Catalase: Oxygen (award 100 points)

Lipase: Fatty Acids (award 100 points)

Pepsin: Amino acids & short peptides (award 100 points)

Amylase: Maltose (award 100 points)

400

Where is DNA found in Eukaryotes 

Nucleus 

400

Walk through the stages of DNA replication

Stage 1: Helicase unwinds the double helix and separates the two strands by breaking hydrogen bonds.

Stage 2: DNA polymerase links nucleotides together to form new strands, using pre-existing strands as templates 

Stage 3: The daughter DNA molecules each rewind into a double helix 

400

What does the term "dinosaur" mean?

Terrible Lizard

500

What can stop an enzyme from working?

  1. Competitive or noncompetitive inhibitor. 

500

Walk through the process of breaking down lactose 

Enzyme lactase is the correct shape and cuts lactose in half, into glucose and galactose

500

Describe the bonds found in the DNA structure

Two strands linked by hydrogen bonding between their bases
