What is the primary role of phospholipids in cellular structures?
✔✔ Phospholipids form the bilayer of cell membranes, creating a barrier that separates the
interior of the cell from the external environment.
How do enzymes lower activation energy in biochemical reactions?
✔✔ Enzymes stabilize the transition state and provide an alternative reaction pathway, lowering
the energy required for the reaction to proceed.
What is a cofactor, and how does it assist enzymes?
✔✔ A cofactor is a non-protein molecule that helps enzymes catalyze reactions, often by
stabilizing the enzyme-substrate complex.
What is the significance of the heme group in hemoglobin?
✔✔ The heme group binds oxygen, allowing hemoglobin to transport oxygen from the lungs to
tissues in the body.

, What is the function of chaperone proteins in cellular processes?
✔✔ Chaperone proteins assist in the proper folding of other proteins, preventing misfolding and
aggregation.
How do glycolipids contribute to cell recognition?
✔✔ Glycolipids are involved in cell-cell recognition and communication, often functioning as
receptors on the cell surface.
What is the purpose of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?
✔✔ The electron transport chain generates ATP through oxidative phosphorylation by
transferring electrons and pumping protons across a membrane.
How do restriction enzymes function in DNA manipulation?
✔✔ Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sequences, allowing for genetic engineering and
cloning techniques.
What role does the ribosome play in translation?
✔✔ Ribosomes facilitate the assembly of amino acids into polypeptide chains, translating the
mRNA sequence into a functional protein.
