What produces carbon dioxide for plants to use during photosynthesis
Animals
Define active site
The place on an enzyme where the substrate binds
Can an enzyme be reused
YES
This process will screech to a halt if Texas goes into a major drought in the summer?
What is photosynthesis?
What are the inputs of photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide, Water
Define enzymes
Protein that speeds up chemical reactions
NO
What are the outputs of Photosynthesis?
Glucose and Oxygen
Define product
The substance that results from a chemical reaction
Enzymes end in these three letters
-ase
What would happen to human and why if all plant life died
Humans would die. There would be no photosynthesis to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and create oxygen
the molecule upon which an enzyme binds to and acts on.
How does an enzyme speed up the rate of a reaction?
By lowering the activation energy.
What is the chemical equation for Cellular respiration
Glucose + Oxygen ---> Carbon Dioxide + Water + (ATP)
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide + Water (+ sunlight) ---> Glucose + Oxygen
Define denaturation
The structural breakdown of an enzyme cause it to lose it functionality.
Name two things that can cause an enzyme to denature.
Temperature and pH
