Amino acids, as the name suggests, have both an amino group and a carboxyl group in their structure. In addition, all naturally occurring amino acids (those which are found in proteins) are called L-amino acids. From this, can you guess from which compound can the simplest amino acid be made?
1. | Formic acid | 2. | Methane |
3. | Phenol | 4. | Glycine |

Many organic substances are negatively charged e.g., acetic acid, while others are positively charged e.g., ammonium ion. An amino acid under certain conditions would have both positive and negative charges simultaneously in the same molecule. Such a form of amino acid is called
1. Positively charged form | 2. Negatively charged form |
3. Neutral form | 4. Zwitter ionic form |

Sugars are technically called carbohydrates, referring to the fact that their formulae are only multiples of C(H2O). Hexose therefore has six carbons, twelve hydrogen and six oxygen atoms. Glucose is a hexose. Choose from among the following another hexose.
1. | Fructose | 2. | Erythrose |
3. | Ribulose | 4. | Ribose |

If an active-site directed inhibitor is present in the medium, the curve that will represent the progress of the chemical reaction will be shown by the letter:
1. D | 2. C |
3. A | 4. B |
A change in an amino acid located distantly from the active site of an enzyme can affect the specificity of the enzyme towards its substrate by:
1. | making the enzyme unstable |
2. | cause a relocation of the enzyme within a cell |
3. | changing the shape of the protein |
4. | changing the optimum pH and temperature values for the enzyme |
An amino acid that is negative charged amongst the following will be:
