Enzymes are proteins that have a three-dimensional shape that is specific to a particular substrate. Environmental conditions can change the shape of the protein.
What is the most likely result if the shape of the enzyme changes?
A. The substrate will change its shape to match the enzyme.
B. The enzyme will no longer be able to catalyze the reaction with the substrate.
C. The products made from the enzyme and the substrate will be changed.
D. The enzyme will be able to bind to more diverse substrates than before.
B. The enzyme will no longer be able to catalyze the reaction with the substrate.

Which two animal systems are interacting in the following scenario?
Hormones stimulate respiration and cause breathing to increase when the body senses stress.
Endocrine and Respiratory

B. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
C. Cellular respiration uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, while photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.
D. Cellular respiration uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, while photosynthesis uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
C. Cellular respiration uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, while photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.

Which statements best compare the function of an ATP molecule to a DNA molecule?
A. ATP carries and transmits the genetic information of organisms. DNA serves as a biological catalyst that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions.
B. ATP provides energy for chemical reactions in the cell. DNA carries and transmits the genetic information of organisms.
C. ATP serves as a biological catalyst that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions. DNA acts as a structural sugar in the cell walls of plants.
D. ATP acts as a structural sugar in the cell walls of plants. DNA provides energy for chemical reactions in the cell.
B. ATP provides energy for chemical reactions in the cell. DNA carries and transmits the genetic information of organisms.
