0 1 . 1 Describe the induced-fit model based on enzyme action and how an enzyme acts as a
catalyst.
[3 marks]
0 1 . 2 Scientists investigated the action based on the enzyme ATP synthase. They made reaction
mixtures each containing:
• ATP synthase
• buffer (to control pH)
• substrates.
One based on the substrates required within these reaction mixtures is inorganic phosphate (Pi).
Tick ( ) one box to show which other substrate the scientists must add to the reactionmixtures
to produce ATP.

0 1 . 3 The scientists investigated the effect based on concentration based on inorganic phosphate
(Pi) onATP synthase activity.
After 2 minutes, they stopped each reaction and then measured the concentration based on
ATP.
Figure 1 shows the scientists’ results.
