Question #1
The scientist who proposed the 'lock and key' model of enzyme action was:
A. Leonor Michaelis
B. Daniel Koshland
C. Emil Fischer
D. Maud Menten

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Emil Fischer proposed the lock-and-key model in 1894, suggesting that the enzyme's active site is exactly complementary to the substrate, like a key fits a lock. Koshland later proposed the induced fit model, which is more widely accepted. Michaelis and Menten developed enzyme kinetics equations.

A. It produces 36 ATP per glucose.
B. It converts glucose into two pyruvate molecules.
C. It requires oxygen.
D. It occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.

Question #3
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is widely used as a:
A. Biopesticide (Bioinsecticide)
B. Bioherbicide
C. Bioremediation agent
D. Biofertilizer

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is widely used as a biopesticide, specifically a bioinsecticide. The spores of Bt contain crystalline proteins (Cry toxins) that are toxic to the larvae of many insects, particularly Lepidoptera (caterpillars), Diptera (flies), and Coleoptera (beetles). When sprayed on crops or ingested by transgenic plants, these toxins kill the pests without harming humans, animals, or beneficial insects.
