Yes, it was one of the last questions.

The disaccharides according to me were: cellobiose, sucrose, maltose, trehalose, from A down D.

I forgot about the sequence of the pictures.If I'm not mistaken, sucrose is the answer for the third/fourth picture

um, i didnt write anything about kinetic energy or collisions though :/, i wrote that the low temperature causes the ionic bond to break (because i thought if it had to do with temperature the bonds that break will be ionic and hydrogen bonds, but for some reason i just wrote for ionic) and so this causes the active site to change shape, therefore active site is no longer complementary to the substrate and ES complex can no longer be formed. aihh, u think this is right? omaigoooooooooooooooooooood. stress. haha
It would be ok you had covered three points (Y) .

I guess i made a blunder in the sugars structures too :/ But what I dont get is, didnt they say we didnt have to memorize sugar structures, just what alpha and beta glucose is like? Ah well.

I know. That was a huge blunder I made :'(

Its not huge at all! Dont worry about it!

Oh no we didnt, we just had to identify the sugars monomers

I completed it 5 minutes before end time :p
i found some questions fairly difficult to understand, on some places i wasn't sure what to write and what not to so I wrote alot, i just hope they dont cut my marks for writing extra :confused:
same here.. the antibiotic obe was confusing...

oh shittt.....in that antibiotic question, i thought they were asking for ANITBODIES and i wrote about anitbodies :/ how much marks did this question have ?

Even I did wrong.. answer: antibiotics interferes with cell wall synthesis, enzyme of translation, enzyme of transcription and they interfere with enzyme of metabolic reaction.

My answer: antibiotics interferes with metabolism of prokaryotes.. blah. And then wrote related to tb.. :'(

antibiotics:

can mess with cell-wall formation [penicillin]
Can mess with protien synthesis [erythromycin, streptomycin]
can mess with DNA replication

And also, yeah we had to identify monomers, but for that we must know structures na >_<

Just wanted to ensure one thing... the last question was the one in which we had to number the order of the cardiac cycle right??
The one in which we had to explain why the left side has more muscles than right?? i do not remember ensuring that there was a part after that.. Panicking!!!
