Define the following terms:

1) Retentate
2) filtrate
3) Substituted methane
4) Activation energy
5) Prosthetic group
6) Co enzyme
7) Apo enzyme

Differentiate between the following

8) Primary and secondary metabolite

9) Acid soluble and acid insoluble fraction
10) Starch and glycogen
11) Starch and cellulose
12) Secondary structure and tertiary structure of protein
13) Enzymes and catalysts
14) Lyases and ligases
15) Transferases and hydrolases

Give scientific reasons:

16) Control of bacterial pathogens involves regulation of enzyme activity.

17) Catalytic activity of enzyme is lost when the co-factor is removed.
18) Certain bacteria can thrive in hot vents and Sulphur springs.
19) Despite having low molecular weight lipids are collected in the acid insoluble fraction.
20) Starch can be hydrolyzed in the mouth only at basic pH
