2023 Fall Final Review (under construction)

Front

What is the purpose of an enzyme?

Back

Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.

Front

Which bond of the ATP molecule is broken to release energy?

Back

The bond A of the ATP molecule is broken to release energy.

Front

What is a monomer?

Back

A monomer is a single molecule that can join together with other molecules to form a polymer.

Front

What is homeostasis?

Back

Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions.

Front

Why would the mouse in jar A die before the mouse in jar C?

Back

The mouse in jar A will not be able to make ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cells?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) serves as the primary energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the difference between a monomer and a polymer?

Back

A monomer is a single unit, while a polymer is a large molecule made up of many monomers linked together.

Front

What is the significance of activation energy in chemical reactions?

Back

Activation energy is the minimum energy required for a chemical reaction to occur; enzymes lower this energy to speed up reactions.

Front

How do plants maintain homeostasis?

Back

Plants maintain homeostasis by regulating water absorption through their roots and controlling transpiration.
