BIOLOGY essay questions

Heya

I was wondering if anyone could come up with, or know typical biology essay questions based on enzymes. We have an exam coming up...only essays........and its based on enzymes....wondering what type of essay questions my teacher would give?

Any suggestions?

If you have ANY past enzyme essay questions, i would really appreciate it if you send it to me. If your not able to, can you please type the essay question up. I would really appreciate it. :smile: Thanks

If I read that on a Biology A-level paper I'd be pissed. I think Moojoo's essays were slightly more realistic Biology questions as they don't require an understanding of the socio-economic development of the UK over the past century.
Questions on secretory enzymes can come up too, where you have to discuss transcription and translation, modification and secretion :smile:
