      33. Catalytic cycle of enzyme can be described by the following
      step.

      1. Substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme.

      2. Active site of the enzyme breaks the chemical bond of
        the substrate forming a new enzyme–product complex.

      3. Shape of the enzyme is altered due to binding of the
        substrate.

      4. Product of the reaction is released.
        What is the correct sequence of enzyme action?
        (a) 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 (b) 1 → 3 → 2 → 4
        (c) 2 → 1 → 3 → 4 (d) 2 → 3 → 1 → 4

        (c) Insulin (d) RUBISCO.

      6. During an enzymatic reaction, Km was calculated. The value
        of Km came out to be 10–5. It indicates
        (a) enzyme is deactivated.
        (b) enzyme has high affinity for its substrate.
        (c) enzyme has low affinity for its substrate.
        (d) none of the above.

  1. Cells obtained from an organism were homogenised
    and centrifuged. A test indicated that the cells contained
    glycogen. If you were asked to find out as quickly as possible
    whether the cells were from a plant or an animal, you
    would
    (a) examine the centrifuge for the presence of extracts of
    chloroplasts
