What is the optimal pH for the enzyme pepsin?

Back

The optimal pH for pepsin is around pH 2, which is highly acidic.

Front

What is the product of the reaction ADP + P + energy?

Back

The product is ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What are the reactants and products of cellular respiration?

Back

Reactants: Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2); Products: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O).

Front

What is the function of a vacuole in a cell?

Back

A vacuole stores materials such as water, nutrients, and waste products within the cell.

Front

What is a dependent variable in an experiment?

Back

The dependent variable is the variable that is measured and changes in response to the independent variable.

Front

What is the role of enzymes in biological reactions?

Back

Enzymes act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process.

Front

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables?

Back

The independent variable is manipulated by the experimenter, while the dependent variable is measured as a response.

Front

What is the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the structure and function of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing DNA and regulating gene expression.

Front

What is the significance of the pH scale?

Back

The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, which can affect enzyme activity and chemical reactions.
