Biology Review for S1 Finals

Front

What is the optimal temperature for enzyme activity?

Back

40° Celsius is the optimal temperature for this particular enzyme.

Front

How should you design an experiment to test the effect of pH on enzyme activity?

Back

Use a range of pH levels and measure enzyme activity at each.

Front

What is the result of genetic recombination during meiosis?

Back

Increase of Genetic diversity.

Front

How do temperature and pH affect enzyme function?

Back

Enzymes can denature and lose function if temperature or pH is too extreme.

Front

What is transcription in protein synthesis?

Back

Transcription is the process of using DNA to create mRNA.

Front

What is translation in protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process of using mRNA to create a polypeptide chain.

Front

What happens to enzymes at extreme temperatures?

Back

Enzymes can denature, losing their functional shape.

Front

What is the role of pH in enzyme activity?

Back

pH affects the shape and charge of the enzyme, influencing its activity.

Front

Define denaturation in the context of enzymes.

Back

Denaturation is the process where an enzyme loses its functional shape due to extreme conditions.

Front

What is the relationship between enzyme concentration and reaction rate?

Back

Increasing enzyme concentration generally increases the reaction rate, up to a point.
