Front

What is the function of an enzyme in a biochemical reaction?

Back

To speed up the rate of the reaction.

Front

What metric can be measured to determine the rate of photosynthesis in plants exposed to different colors of light?

Back

The rate of oxygen production by observing how many bubbles the plants produce.

Front

What happens to cancer cells in relation to the cell cycle?

Back

Cancer cells may continuously repeat the cell cycle and may be unable to enter the G0 phase.

Front

At what temperature does enzyme 1 function optimally?

Back

Enzyme 1 functions optimally at 10-40 degrees Celsius.

Front

What is the G0 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The G0 phase is a resting phase where cells are not actively dividing.

Front

What is the S phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The S phase is the stage where DNA is replicated.

Front

What is the M phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The M phase is the stage of mitosis where cell division occurs.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is produced as a byproduct during the process of photosynthesis.

Front

How does temperature affect enzyme activity?

Back

Enzymes have optimal temperature ranges; outside this range, their activity may decrease.

Front

What is the significance of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is crucial for growth, development, and repair in organisms.
