Glucose

Front

What is the main difference between active transport and passive transport?

Back

Active transport requires ATP, while passive transport does not.

Front

What are the main elements that make up the components of DNA's double helix?

Front

What happens to an enzyme after it catalyzes a reaction?

Back

The enzyme remains unchanged and can bind to new substrates.

Front

What are the three components of a nucleotide?

Back

Sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous base.

Front

Define active transport in cellular processes.

Back

Active transport is the movement of substances against their concentration gradient, requiring energy (ATP).

Front

Define passive transport in cellular processes.

Back

Passive transport is the movement of substances along their concentration gradient without the use of energy.

Front

What role do enzymes play in biochemical reactions?

Back

Enzymes act as catalysts, speeding up reactions without being consumed.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix composed of two strands of nucleotides.

Front

What is the function of glucose in cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose is broken down to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
