Question 3
Question
Each base in [blank_start]DNA[blank_end] forms [blank_start]cross[blank_end] links with their [blank_start]complementary[blank_end] pairs on the other strand, keeping the strands [blank_start]tightly[blank_end] wound together.
Complementary pairing also allows and helps [blank_start]protein[blank_end] synthesis.
Answer
-
DNA
-
cross
-
complementary
-
tightly
-
protein
Question 4
Question
Protein synthesis takes place in the [blank_start]cytoplasm[blank_end] and is aided by the [blank_start]ribosomes[blank_end].
The order of bases in a gene code for a different order of amino acids in a protein. Each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of [blank_start]three[blank_end] bases called a [blank_start]triplet[blank_end] code.
A [blank_start]shorter[blank_end], single strand of DNA (called mRNA) goes through the unzipped DNA and matches each base with their [blank_start]complementary[blank_end] pair. This is called [blank_start]transcription[blank_end].
The mRNA leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm, where the [blank_start]ribosomes[blank_end] read the [blank_start]triplet[blank_end] codes and form the correct sequence of amino acids, joining them together to make a [blank_start]protein[blank_end].

Question 5
Question
Enzymes are [blank_start]biological[blank_end] catalysts. They help to speed up reactions without [blank_start]damaging[blank_end] themselves or getting 'used up'.
Enzymes are [blank_start]proteins[blank_end] and are [blank_start]very[blank_end] specific.
The [blank_start]lock[blank_end] and key method means the substrate can only enter the active site of the enzyme that has been built to break down that substrate.
Carbohydrase (example: [blank_start]amylase[blank_end]) break down carbohydrates into [blank_start]starch[blank_end] and simple sugars.
Protease (example: [blank_start]pepsin[blank_end]) break down proteins into amino acids.
Lipase (example: [blank_start]lipids[blank_end]) break down [blank_start]fats[blank_end] and oils into fatty acids and [blank_start]glycerol[blank_end].

Question 6
Question
Enzymes all have optimum pHs, temperatures and [blank_start]concentrations[blank_end].
The optimum means the enzyme is working at its [blank_start]highest[blank_end] possible efficiency.
Too high or too low of a pH effects the [blank_start]bonds[blank_end] between enzymes and substrates, slowing the rate of reaction.
If an enzyme concentration is increased, eventually the rate of reaction will remain the [blank_start]same[blank_end] as all the [blank_start]substrates[blank_end] have been broken down.
If the substrate concentration is increased, eventually the rate of reaction will remain the [blank_start]same[blank_end] as all the active sites are [blank_start]full[blank_end].
Answer
-
concentrations
-
highest
-
bonds
-
same
-
substrates
-
same
-
full
Question 7
Question
Match the chemical with what they test for and how it is shown.
Ethanol tests for [blank_start]fats[blank_end]. It has a [blank_start]creamy precipitate[blank_end] if it is present and clear if it is not.
Iodine tests for [blank_start]starch[blank_end]. It is [blank_start]black / purple[blank_end] when it is present and [blank_start]yellow[blank_end] if it is not.
Benedict's solution tests for [blank_start]reducing sugars[blank_end]. It is [blank_start]red[blank_end] if it is present and [blank_start]blue[blank_end] if it is not.
Buiret solution tests for [blank_start]protein[blank_end]. It is [blank_start]pink[blank_end] if it is present and blue if it is not.

-
starch
-

Question 8
Question
Respiration is the process of [blank_start]transferring[blank_end] energy from the break down of sugar.
The energy transferred [blank_start]can't[blank_end] be used directly by the cells, so it is used to make [blank_start]ATP[blank_end].
[blank_start]Aerobic[blank_end] respiration happens when there is plenty of oxygen available.
Glucose + oxygen -----> carbon dioxide + [blank_start]water[blank_end] + energy
[blank_start]Anaerobic[blank_end] respiration produces less [blank_start]energy[blank_end]. Glucose is broken down to make [blank_start]lactic[blank_end] acid (in animals) or [blank_start]ethanol[blank_end], carbon dioxide and energy (in [blank_start]yeast[blank_end] and fungi).
