9744 / H2 Biology / 01 2 1 Dialysis (Visking) tubing is an artificial partially permeable mem brane with pore sizes of approximately 2.5 nm. Glucose molecules have a diameter of about 1.5 nm and can pass through the pores in the membrane. What else can pass through the pores? 1 bacteria 2 haemoglobin 3 ribosomes 4 fructose A 1 and 3 B 2 and 4 C 2 only D 4 only 2 Which statements are correct for chloroplasts and also for mitochondria? 1 They contain 80S ribosomes. 2 They can transcribe their circular DNA. 3 They can translate mRNA. 4 They are enclosed by double membranes. A 1, 2, 3 and 4 B 1 and 2 only C 2, 3 and 4 only D 3 and 4 only

9744 / H2 Biology / 01 3 3 The diagrams show three examples of different bonds. Which bond(s) hold(s) the secondary structure of proteins together? A 1, 2 and 3 B 1 and 3 only C 1 only D 2 and 3 only 4 A student was provided with a solution of carbohydrate. They removed two samples from th e solution and performed tests on each sample, as shown. Which statement explains the results? A Condensation reactions occur in sample two to release reducing sugar. B Glycosidic bonds in a polysaccharide have been broken to release reducing sugar. C Sample one shows that sucrose is present in the carbohydrate solution. D The change in colour to a yellow solution shows that glucose is present.

9744 / H2 Biology / 01 4 5 Influenza virus has an enzyme called neuraminidase which breaks down glycoproteins in the surface membrane of the cell that the virus will infect. The glycoprotein binds to the active site of neuraminidase by induced fit. Which statements about the induced fit hypothesis of enzyme action are correct? 1 The active site must have the same shape as the substrate for them to bind together. 2 This enzyme is less likely to be affected by non-competitive inhibitors than an enzyme w
