Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose and oxygen are the reactants of cellular respiration.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in a cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Front

Why is the shape of molecules important in the body's communication system?

Back

The shape of molecules determines whether they will fit together, which is essential for communication in the body.

Front

What role do enzymes play in chemical reactions?

Back

Enzymes increase the speed of chemical reactions and can break down or build molecules.

Front

What is the definition of enzymes?

Back

Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions.

Front

What can be concluded if bacteria grow in nine out of ten sterilized food containers?

Back

It can be concluded that the species of bacteria synthesizes enzymes needed to digest the food in those containers.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration, creating a cycle of energy transfer.

Front

What factors can affect the shape of molecules?

Back

Factors such as pH and temperature can affect the shape of molecules.

Front

What is the significance of enzyme specificity?

Back

Enzyme specificity means that each enzyme only catalyzes a specific reaction, ensuring efficiency in metabolic processes.
