  • 2(a)[3]

    one mark per row:

    substance

    enzyme

    product(s)

    starch

    amylase

    maltose / glucose / (simple) sugar(s)

    fat

    ;;;

  • 2(b)[4]

    any four from:

    biological washing powder is more effective, at lower temperatures / between 10 °C and 40 °C / 10 °C and 43 °C ; comparative data quote for the difference at a stated temperature ;

    biological washing powder removes all stain between 30 °C and 40 °C ;

    non-biological removes all stain only at 60 °C ;

    effectiveness is similar, at high temperatures / between 50 and 60 °C ;

    same trend, below 30 °C / at low temperatures / from 50 °C ;

    idea of effectiveness of biological washing powder decreases between 40 °C and 44 °C, no such decrease for non- biological washing powder ;

  • 2(c)[2]

    any two from:

    active site changes shape ;

    substrate no longer fits into, enzyme / active site ;

    no enzyme-substrate complex / no successful collisions ;

  • 2(d)[2]

    any two from:

    individual people have, different / unique, DNA ;

    DNA has genes or alleles have, sequences of bases ;
