The long distance water movement, from roots up to leaves, of the water transport in large plants depends on one unique property of water.  
Water's unique property of __________ allows water molecules to stick together so they can be pulled upward by the force of transpiration.

• adhesion
• cohesion
• indention
• retention

How do enzymes speed up chemical reactions?  Enzymes

• lower the activation energy of chemical reactions.
• raise the temperature of the cell, speeding chemical reactions.
• store ATP, allowing more energy to be used in chemical reactions.
• act as miniature 'transfer trucks,' gathering materials for chemical reactions, and placing them together

The by-products of cellular respiration include

• energy and oxygen.
• glucose and oxygen.
• carbon dioxide and water.
• glucose and carbon dioxide.

Which molecule is used by cells as an energy source?

• ATP
• DNA
• phosphate
• oxygen
