Biology- Maintaining a Balance Summary 1. Most organisms are active in a limited temperature range 1. identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity on substrates Enzymes are proteins which act as catalysts in living things (they lower the amount of energy needed for a reaction‚ therefore increasing rate of reaction). Enzymes speed up reactions but are not used up by them. Enzymes catalyze only one

This is a practice test for biology 101 test 2. You should also review all lectures and practice writing questions for each lecture set. You will also want to take advantage of the test banks under the “Lessons” tab in Angel. In addition to these sample questions and the test banks‚ you are advised to study the diagrams from all chapters and be able to label main structures. 1) The function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum(RER) is: a) Digestion b) Support c) DNA isolation d)

Lung Capacity I. Introduction. The chest contains two lungs‚ one lung on the right side of the chest‚ the other on the left side of the chest. Each lung is made up of sections called lobes. The lungs are soft and protected by the ribcage. The purpose of the lungs is to bring oxygen into the body and to remove carbon dioxide. Oxygen is a gas that provides us with energy‚ while carbon dioxide is a waste product or “exhaust” of the body. | To deliver oxygen to the body‚ air is breathed in through

Exploration Research Question What is the effect of different concentrations of sucrose in a solution on the mass and surface area of a beetroot (Beta Vulgaris) piece? Background The membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer which is semi permeable. Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential across a semi-permeable membrane. It is easy for water molecules to pass through this membrane however solutes that are big in

AS Biology - Unit 1 ------------------------------------------------- Metabolism Metabolism is a term to describe all reaction which is taking place within a cell and is separated into two types which are * anabolic = compounds being built up * catabolic = compounds being broken down ------------------------------------------------- Water The water molecule is a molecule which is made up from 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. It is bounded by 2 covalent bonds and has is polar.
