The effects of pH and temperature were studied for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The following results were obtained.
What happens to photosynthesis when there is a dense covering such as thick forests, clouds or dust from volcano eruptions. What happens to caron dioxide and oxygen levels. What test can be done in
How do plant and animal cells metabolize energy in complimentary ways.
If a plant is kept for many days in the dark, glucose is not produced, even though the sugar producing reactions are called light-independent. Why is glucose not produced in this case.
The oak makes potentially nutritious seeds (acorns) that contain very bitter-tasting tannins. If we could breed the tannin out of acorns, they might become a delicacy.
Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis co-exist as paired processes. Photosynthesis converts light energy into organic molecules such as carbohydrates. These molecules are picked up and utilized as
The desert tends to have two catagories of plants: small grasses of herbs, and shrubs or small trees. The grasses and herbs typically have fibrous roots.
Agent Orange, a combination of two synthetic auxins, was used in Vietnam to defoliate the rain forest during the Vietnam War. Being similiar to natural growth hormones.
If a tall round seed plant is crossed with another plant. From the following information provided. Tall dominate, round dominant, and both are heterozygous.
One of the most dramatic environmental changes today is the increase in carbon-dioxide levels in the atmosphere. We usually hear about it in connection with global warming, but that's not the only i
All the bananas we eat come from trees that are produced through "cuttings" ? a stem from an existing tree is planted in the ground, resulting in a new tree.
Stands of aspen trees often are a series of genetically identical individuals, with each succeeding tree growing from the severed shoot of another tree.
You are a forensic scientist and have been asked to identify a white, unlabeled powder recovered from the scene of a crime. As a first step, you're interested in learning if the compound is polar or

What is the evolutionary significance of the Chlorophyta? Why is Chlamydomonas an important member of this group.
If you were looking for mosses, what are some of the characteristics of the habitats in which you would took? Explain your answer based on your knowledge of bryophyte life history.
Why do mosses and ferns both require free water to complete their life cycles? At what stage of the life cycle is the water required? Do angiosperms also require water to complete their life cycles?
Plants absorb light energy using special molecules called photosynthetic pigments (predominantly chlorophylls). These pigments absorb most of the visible light except for wavelengths in the green pa
Atractyloside is a glycoside found in certain plants that leads to herbal poisoning worldwide, wspecially in Africa and the Mediterranean regions. How does atractyloside affect mitochondrial respira
During a study on desert plants the scientist had 2 identical plots with annual wildflowers in both plots. One plot was enclosed to keep out herbivores such as the kangaroo rat.

After completing the table you will have a basic understanding of these two complementary metabolic processes. Using what you have learned, and additional reference information, answer the following
Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, a simple sugar, in two steps, the light dependent and light independent reactions. Oxygen is produced as a by product during
Both reactions are examples of complex metabolic pathways, consisting of many linked reactions. Briefly, explain the role of enzymes in chemical reactions and metabolic pathways.
