Photosynthesis is the process that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Front

What is albinism?

Back

Albinism is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by a lack of melanin, leading to lighter skin, hair, and eyes.

Front

What happens to enzymes at high temperatures?

Back

Enzymes can denature (change shape) when the temperature gets too high, affecting their function.

Front

Which organism uses cilia for movement?

Back

Paramecium uses cilia for movement.

Front

How are complementary strands of DNA linked?

Back

Each base in one strand of DNA is paired with a complementary base in the other strand.

Front

What is the role of enzymes in chemical reactions?

Back

Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required.

Front

What is the difference between a heterozygous and a homozygous genotype?

Back

A heterozygous genotype has two different alleles for a trait, while a homozygous genotype has two identical alleles.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of cilia in cells?

Back

Cilia are hair-like structures that help in movement and the movement of substances across the cell surface.

Front

What is the significance of the pH level for enzymes?

Back

Extreme pH levels can denature enzymes, affecting their ability to catalyze reactions.
