Front

How does an inhibitor affect an enzyme?

Back

An inhibitor prevents the substrate from attaching to the enzyme.

Front

What is the Chief Energy Storing Compound of the Cell?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

Front

What is the equation that represents Cellular Respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP (energy)

Front

What happens during the cell cycle phase where the cell spends most of its time?

Back

The cell is growing and developing and DNA is replicating.

Front

Define 'hypothesis' in the context of the Scientific Method.

Back

A hypothesis is a testable prediction about the outcome of an experiment.

Front

What role does ATP play in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various biochemical reactions.

Front

What is the function of enzymes in biological reactions?

Back

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

Front

Explain the term 'cellular respiration'.

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of DNA replication in the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication ensures that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material.
