    Solution

    a. Amylase breaks down/catalyzes/hydrolyses starch to maltose 1 mark

    b. Lipase breaks down/catalyzes/hydrolyses fats to fatty acids and glycerol 1 mark

    c. Proteases/peptidases break down/catalyze/hydrolyze proteins into smaller polypeptides/dipeptides/amino acids 1 mark

    Award [2] if all three enzymes and substrates named correctly and one further mark for all three products named correctly.

    Allow specific enzymes

    3.

    Compare and contrast cis-fatty acids and trans-fatty acids.

    [2]

    Solution
    • Both are unsaturated fatty acids
      OR
      Both have two carbon atoms joined by a double bond; 1 mark

    • In cis-fatty acids, the two H atoms are on the same side, while in trans-fatty acids, they are on opposite sides
      OR
      Cis-fatty acids are healthier than trans-fatty acids
      OR
      Cis-fatty acids have a lower boiling/melting point than trans
      OR
      Cis-fatty acids have a kink «in the chain» but trans do not; 1 mark
