Section A

1. Diagram shows the results of an experiment in which three similar shirts P, Q and R with
  identical fat stains were washed in an enzyme-containing washing powder at three
  different temperature 150C, 350C and 650C.




  a) (i) State the temperature at which each shirt P, Q and R was washed.       [1m]
     ______________________________________________________________________
     (ii) Explain your answer for each shirt.                                   [3m]
     ______________________________________________________________________
     ______________________________________________________________________
     ______________________________________________________________________
  b) Suggest two changes to the procedure which might have resulted in the complete
     removal of the stain from shirt R.                                         [2m]
     ______________________________________________________________________
     ______________________________________________________________________
     ______________________________________________________________________
  c) (i) Name the enzyme likely used in the powder.                             [1m]
     ______________________________________________________________________
     (ii) Suggest the type of enzyme that should be present in a washing powder designed to
         remove blood stains.                                                   [2m]
     ______________________________________________________________________
  d) How does enzyme in the washing powder remove food stains on the clothes? [1m]
     ______________________________________________________________________
     ______________________________________________________________________
2. Diagram shows the structures of four organic compounds which are found in living cells.




  a) (i) Name the structure of compounds X and Z.                           [2m]
     ______________________________________________________________________
     (ii) State the monomer of X and Y.                                     [2m]
     ______________________________________________________________________
  b) What if pancreatic cells are unable to synthesis compound X?           [1m]
     ______________________________________________________________________
  c) (i) In the space below, draw and label the structure of the basic unit of organic
        compound W.                                                         [2m]
