Front

What is a control in scientific experiments?

Back

A test that does not have the independent variable, to show a baseline with no reaction.

Front

What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

CO2 concentration, H2O availability, Temperature, Light intensity.

Front

What process creates the proton motive force in cellular respiration?

Back

The electron transport chain.

Front

How do enzymes affect activation energy?

Back

Enzymes decrease activation energy to speed up chemical reactions.

Front

What are the net products of photosynthesis?

Back

C6H12O6 and 6 O2.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy carrier in cells.

Front

Explain the term 'proton motive force'.

Back

The force that promotes movement of protons across membranes during chemiosmosis.

Front

What is the significance of the electron transport chain?

Back

It is crucial for ATP production in cellular respiration.
