An owl eats a mouse. Which word describes this relationship?
Predation

What is an enzyme?
A protein that speeds up a chemical reaction.
100
What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?
To transform light energy into chemical energy (glucose/food).
100
What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?
To produce energy (ATP) from glucose.
200
Identify the organism(s) that can undergo both cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
Plants/Producers (Tree, Shrubs, Grasses)
200
The unfolding or unraveling of a protein shape.
Denature
200
Identify the organisms who can do photosynthesis
Plants, Algae and some bacteria (Producers/Autotrophs)
200
Identify the organisms who can do cellular respiration.
Plants and Animals (Producers and Consumers)
300
Create a food chain based on the information.
Algae --> Snails --> Catfish --> Herons
300
What is the optimal pH? How do we know?
Optimal pH is 4 because it has the highest enzyme activity.
300
What is the reactant and product for photosynthesis?
Water + Carbon Dioxide + Light --> Oxygen + Glucose
300
What is the reactant and produc for cellular respiration (aerobic)
Oxygen + glucose --> ATP + water + carbon dioxide

Using the graph, describe the pattern of population growth over time using your knowledge of biology.
Population increases rapidly due to abundant resources. Population reaches carrying capacity as resources become limited.
400
Identify the optimal temperature for the enzyme based on the data provided and justify your reasoning.
Optimal temperature 90 degree because it has the quickest/fastest reaction time
400
Explain how increasing light intensity will affect the rate of photosynthesis and justify your reasoning using your knowledge of biology.
Rate of photosynthesis will increase because photosynthesis needs light.

In a closed container, there is a aquatic plant was not exposed to light. Describe the change in amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide based on the scenario and justify your answer using your knowledge of biology.
Oxygen will decrease, carbon dioxide will increase because plant is undergoing cellular respiration. Cellular respiration uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide.

The diagram above is an example of artic food web. Global warming has caused an increase in melting of the ice sheets. As a result, population of plankton and shrimp has decline. Describe the effect global warming has on the food web.
The food web will collapse because their less producers means less for the consumers and the organisms above the trophic level.
500
Describe two ways in which enzyme do their job.
1) lower activation energy
2) guide substrate to the right orientation

Two plant were placed under two different condition: one with light and one without light. One plant gain mass and the other plant lost mass. Which organisms is undergoing photosynthesis? Justify your answer using your knowledge of biology and include how mass will be affected.
Plant with light undergoes photosynthesis. It will gain mass because photosynthesis produces glucose which allows organisms to gain mass.

Two plant were placed under two different condition: one with light and one without light. One plant gain mass and the other plant lost mass. Which organisms is undergoing cellular respiration? Justify your answer using your knowledge of biology and include how mass will be affected.
Plant without light undergo cellular respiration The plant will lose mass because cellular respiration breaks down glucose to produce energy which is used up.
