[2006]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Biomolecules - 2 - Question 9

Coenzyme is an organic substance that enhances the action of an enzyme by binding with the protein molecule. Holoenzyme is a biochemically active compound formed by the combination of an enzyme with a coenzyme. Apoenzyme is the protein of an enzyme to which the coenzyme attaches to form an active enzyme Isoenzyme is one of the several forms of an enzyme that catalyse the same reaction but differ from each other in such properties as substrate affinity and maximum rates of enzyme substrate reaction.

 

Cofactor is a non protein part of the enzyme. It can be metal ions or the organic chemical. The cofactors which are organic chemicals are known as coenzyme. These are loosely attached to the apoenzyme. The tightly bound coenzymes are prosthetic group.

[2007]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Biomolecules - 2 - Question 10

The plant ash reveals the presence of 40 elements but all are not essential for plant nutrition, only a few are essential for growth and development of plants. These are called as the essential elements. The essential elements may be grouped as major elements or macronutrients and trace elements or micronutrients, based on their requirement by plants. The macronutrient elements are required in large amounts and form the plant constituents. The major elements are otherwise also known as macronutrients. These include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulphur. Of these approximately ninety percent of plant body is made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium and phosphorous.

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Biomolecules - 2 - Question 11

A competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase is

[2008]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Biomolecules - 2 - Question 11

Malonate is a powerful inhibitor of cellular respiration, because it binds to the active site of the succinate dehydrogenase in the citric acid cycle but does not react, thereby competes with succinate, since it does not have the -CH2-CH2- group as in succinate which is required for dehydrogenation. For the oxidative phosphorylation reaction, malonate is an inhibitor for complex II which again contain succinate dehydrogenase.

[1998]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Biomolecules - 2 - Question 18



Proteins are building blocks of the body. The proteins are made up of amino acids. The amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to form a protein. The amino acids consist of amine group made up of nitrogen and hydrogen and the carboxyl group at the end and a side chain of R group which is specific to a particular amino acid. This specific group brings a variability to the proteins. If R group is H it is glycine while if it is CH2​ it is alanine. The sequence of amino acids determines the protein. 

So, the correct answer is option D.
