    Question
    HLPaper 2
    1.

    Outline the control of metabolism by end-product inhibition.

    [3]
    Verified
    Solution

    a. end-product of a metabolic pathway inhibits an enzyme earlier in the pathway ✔

    b. end-product binds to allosteric site of enzyme ✔

    c. changes shape of active site of enzyme ✔

    d. enzyme activity reduced/stopped when end-product binds ✔

    e. production of end-product reduced/stopped when enzyme inhibited ✔

    f. production resumes when end-product used up/concentration of end-product falls ✔

    g. example of end-product inhibition ✔

    2.

    Outline the functions of rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.

    [3]
    Verified
    Solution

    Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)

    • Synthesis of proteins/polypeptides 1 mark
    • Ribosomes on surface/attached to RER 1 mark
    • Proteins for secretion/export/use outside cell OR proteins for use in lysosomes/cell membrane 1 mark
    • Modification/processing/folding of proteins 1 mark
    • Synthesis/processing of lipids/phospholipids 1 mark
    • Storage of calcium ions 1 mark

    Golgi Apparatus

    • Further modification/processing of proteins 1 mark
    • Packaging/vesicle formation of proteins for secretion/export 1 mark
    • Formation of lysosomes 1 mark
    • Synthesis/processing of carbohydrates/glycoproteins/glycolipids 1 mark
    3.

    Explain how hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties contribute to the arrangement of molecules in a membrane.

    [7]
    Verified
    Solution

    a. Hydrophilic is attracted to/soluble in water and hydrophobic not attracted/insoluble ✔

    b. Hydrophilic phosphate/head and hydrophobic hydrocarbon/tail in phospholipids ✔

    c. Phospholipid bilayer in water/in membranes ✔

    HydrophilicHydrophobicHydrophilicheadtailhead\begin{array}{ccc} \text{Hydrophilic} & \text{Hydrophobic} & \text{Hydrophilic}\\ \text{head} & \text{tail} & \text{head} \end{array}Hydrophilichead​Hydrophobictail​Hydrophilichead​

    d. Hydrophilic heads of phospholipids face outwards/are on surface ✔

    e. Hydrophobic tails of phospholipids face inwards/are inside/are in core ✔

    f. Cholesterol is mainly hydrophobic/amphipathic so is located among phospholipids/in hydrophobic region of membrane ✔

    g. Some amino acids are hydrophilic and some are hydrophobic ✔

    h. Hydrophobic amino acids/regions of proteins in phospholipid bilayer core ✔

    i. Hydrophilic amino acids/regions of proteins are on the membrane surface ✔

    j. Integral proteins are embedded in membranes due to hydrophobic properties/region OR transmembrane proteins have a hydrophobic middle region and hydrophilic ends ✔

    k. Peripheral proteins on are on the membrane surface/among phosphate heads due to being entirely hydrophilic OR carbohydrate part of glycoproteins is hydrophilic so is outside the membrane ✔

    l. Pore of channel proteins is hydrophilic ✔
