FINAL.Docx Page 3 of 7
PART A – Reasoning 250 words +/- 10%
1. Pyrimidine plays a vital role in the efficient functioning of
the body. Discuss the chemical
classification and significance of pyrimidine relating to the
human body. (4 marks)
2. The boiling points of ethanol and ethanal are 78.37°C and
20.2°C respectively. Explain the
reason for this variation in the boiling points of these two
compounds with similar molecular
weights. Discuss intermolecular attractions between the
molecules to support your answer.
(4 marks)
3. Stearic acid and oleic acid are both long chain carboxylic
acids with 18 carbon atoms.
However, there is a large difference in the melting points of
these fatty acids. Stearic acid

7. (18:0) melts at 70°C and oleic acid (18:1) melts at 16°C.
Explain why there is such a large
difference in the melting points of these fatty acids. (4
marks)
4. Assume that you are a chemist trying to prepare butyl
ethanoate, a flavouring agent used
in the manufacture of ice-cream and candy. Identify the
functional group in butyl ethanoate.
State the name of the reaction and the reactants that can be used
to synthesize this
compound. (4 marks)
PART B – Essay 850 words +/- 10%
Carbohydrates, proteins and lipids play a vital role in the
efficient functioning of the human
body. Discuss the major functions of carbohydrates, proteins
and lipids with an emphasis on
their role in maintaining the structure of cell membrane. (40
marks)
PART C – Application 400 words +/- 10%
1. The antibacterial activity of penicillin is related to the
inhibition of a key bacterial enzyme.
Explain this mechanism of enzyme inhibition. (5 marks)

8. 2. Sequence 1 and sequence 2 are short sequences of DNA with
a message. To decipher the
message, you will need to first transcribe and then translate the
sequences. Using the single
letter code of each amino acid obtained upon translating the
sequence, crack the message
contained. Please note that there are only 20 amino acids.
Therefore, you may need to insert
any/all of the letters B, J, O, U, X, Z to complete the message.

9. determine the mRNA and
amino acid sequence for both normal and sickle cell
haemoglobin DNA.

obtained and state if this
difference would affect the role of haemoglobin as an oxygen
carrying protein. (5 marks)
4. State whether the following compounds are present in DNA
or RNA or both.
(5 marks)
a) Guanine
b) Adenine
c) Thymine
d) Cytosine

g) Uracil

10. 5. A part of the aminoacid sequence in Cytochrome-C protein
from 6 different species is given
in the table. Rank the organisms from 1 to 5 according to the
similarity of the organism to
human: based on the similarity between the cytochrome C
aminoacid sequences, 1 being the
closest to human. It is largely agreed that the greater the
number of amino acid (or
nucleotide) differences between a given pair of organisms, the
further apart they are in
evolution. On the other hand, if two organisms show very few
differences, they are likely to
be closely related. With the given information in the table and
your ranking of organisms, do
you think this ranking gives definite information on how further
apart the organisms are in
evolution? Why/why not? (5 marks)
