A homopolymer has only one building block called monomer repeated ‘n’ number of times. A heteropolymer has more than one type of monomers. Proteins are heteropolymers made of amino acids. While a nucleic acid-like DNA or RNA is made of only 4 types of nucleotide monomers, proteins are made up of
1. 20 types of monomers
2. 40 types of monomers
3. 3 types of monomers
4. Only one type of monomer

Enzymes are biocatalysts. They catalyse biochemical reactions. In general they reduce activation energy of reactions. Many physic-chemical processes are enzyme mediated. Some examples of enzyme mediated reactions are given below. Tick the wrong entry
1. Dissolving CO2 in water
2. Untwining the two strands of DNA
3. Hydrolysis of sucrose
4. Formation of peptide bond
Which of the following is the best evidence for the 'Lock-and-key model' of enzyme action?
1. all isolated enzymes have been identified as proteins
2. compounds similar in structure to the substrate inhibit the reaction
3. enzymes are found in living organisms and speed up certain reactions
4. enzymes determine the direction of reaction
