Front

Which building blocks are used less often for protein synthesis when antibiotics are added to cells receiving experimental mRNA?

Back

Amino acid monomers

Front

What type of surface area to volume ratio do small cells have?

Back

High

Front

What happens to cell volume relative to surface area in nutrient-rich environments?

Back

Cell volume decreases relative to surface area, promoting nutrient uptake.

Front

What is the best explanation for increased activity of Sfβgly between 29° C and 37° C?

Back

The number of collisions between Sfβgly and its substrate increased with an increase in temperature.

Front

Define 'enzyme'.

Back

A protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up biochemical reactions.

Front

What is the role of substrates in enzymatic reactions?

Back

Substrates are the reactants that enzymes act upon to facilitate a reaction.

Front

Explain the significance of the surface area to volume ratio in cells.

Back

A higher surface area to volume ratio allows for more efficient nutrient uptake and waste removal.

Front

What effect does temperature have on enzyme activity?

Back

Increased temperature generally increases enzyme activity up to a certain point, beyond which it may denature.

Front

What is the function of ribonucleic acid (RNA) in cells?

Back

RNA plays a crucial role in coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes.
