Globular proteins are proteins with a specific shape (conformation). Describe how globular
proteins can have different shapes and how these shapes enable them to have different
functions in a human body. (Description of fibrous protein is not required.)

(This question requires answers in essay form. Some marks are given on the presentation of
the answers, which should be logical and with coherent layout.)

Draw a labelled diagram to show the structures of a biological membrane, such as the
plasma membrane. The following are some structures that you may have to include in your
diagram.

The vacuoles of the beetroot cells contain a red pigment. This red pigment would be
released if the cell membrane and the vacuole membrane have been damaged.
In an investigation, two beetroot cubes of similar size cut from a peeled beetroot were put
separately in two test tubes (X and Y) containing the same volumes of alcohol but of
different concentrations as shown in Diagram A. After 20 minutes, red colours of different
intensities appeared in the alcohol as that shown in Diagram B.

concentration.

At the 17th century with the invention of compound light microscopes, scientists at that
time found that the semi-fluid materials inside the cells could carry out all life activities
such as respiration, enzyme actions and cell divisions. They called this semi-fluid
"protoplasm", which was believed to be the basis of life.
After the invention of electron microscopes, scientists discovered that this semi-fluid
actually contained even smaller structures, which they named them "organelles". On
isolating these organelles, they confirmed that most life activities are actually carried out by
these organelles.
(a)
From the above information, explain why protoplasm is a term that is no longer appropriate
in modern biology.
(1 mark)
(b)
Explain why electron microscope with a magnification of 20 000x can see cell structures in
greater detail than a light microscope with the same magnification.

1.1
Soak the soybeans overnight to soften it.
1.2
Layout of the answer:
1. Having a special conformation
Role of DNA => Amino acids with a specific
sequence forming a polypeptide =>
coiling to form 3-dimentional shape.
(The concept is that different arrangements of amino acids in a polypeptide
would lead to different conformations.)
2. Different functions
Enzymes and active sites.
Antibodies for body defense.
Answer
For example, the cell membrane of the postsynaptic cell has receptors for the neurotransmitters released from the pre-synaptic
cell. This allows nerve impulses to cross the
synapse.

All that is required is a simple line drawing
showing the important structures and without
much touch up such as shading or too much
dotting.
For example:
glycoprotein
(or glycolipid)
phospholipid
molecule
cholesterol
carrier protein
(or channel protein)

(a) Because most life activities are carried
out by the organelles and not just by a
semi-fluid materials.

This type of question requires a candidate
just to select from the provided information
the material that fits the statement on the
left column and then write a comment on it.
No other materials are required unless
specified. And don't just copy the question
as the answer.
(i) Scientists believed that the protoplasm
was the basis of life because they found
that the protoplasm could show all life
activities.
(Or: Scientists isolated organelles and
found they showed life activities. So
life depends on these organelles.)
