6. How is lactic acid removed during recovery from exercise?

  • heart continues to beat faster than normal so his blood can carry lactic acid away from his muscles to be broken down in the liver. This requires oxgen. The extra oxygen required to remove the lactic acidis called the oxygen debt.
  • slows breathing down so it can be transferred to the lungs where it can be broken down. this does not require oxygen and therefore a lot of oxgyen is not used which is called oxygen debt.

7. What is anaerobic respiration ?

  • respiration releases energy without the use of oxygen and produces lactic acid as waste
  • releases energy with the use of oxgyen and produces lactic acid
  • releases energy without use of oxygen but does not produce lactic acid

8. Name all the scientists involved in the discovery of DNA structure

  • Alexander Fleming and Rosalind Franklin
  • Rosalind Franklin
  • Watson, Crick, Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, Erwin Chargaff
  • Watson and Crick

9. Definition for metabollic rate

  • amount of energy your body needs
  • amount of energy your body wastes
  • amount of energy your body does not use

10. What is an enzyme ?

  • chemical catalyst- each enzyme is specific to each substrate
  • biological catayst- each enzyme is specific to each substrate
  • biological catalyst- enzyme is the same for every substrate

11. Explain how temperature affects enzymes and the lock and key mechanism

  • As the temperature increases, the molecules gain more energy; more collisions occur and the rate of reaction increases. Above optimum temperature, the enzyme denatures and the reaction stops
  • it has no affect
  • at low temperatures the molecules lose energy; less collisions occur and the rate of reaction decreases meaning the reaction stops

12. What does genetic code control ?

  • cell activity and production of ribosomes
  • cell activity and production of different proteins
  • production of chromosomes and genes
  • production of mitochondria and cell activity

13. Explain the journey of mRNA

  • mRNA carries the ribosomes to the amino acids
  • mRNA leaves the nucleus and travles to the ribosomes
  • mRNA travels from the ribosomes to the nucleus
  • mRNA travels to the nucleus

14. True or False: anaerobic respiration releases much more energy per glucose molecule than aerobic respiration and give reason why

  • false because glucose is only partly broken down
  • true because glucose is only partly broken down

15. where does respiration occur ?

  • ribosomes
  • mitochondria
  • in DNA
  • nucleus

16. Where is the energy made during respiration stored?

  • PTA
  • ATP
  • AATP
  • TPA
  • ATTP

17. True or false: all genes are switched off in cells

  • false
  • true

18. What is translation ? (ribosomes)

  • At the ribosomes the mRNA code is used to put the amino acids together in the right order and form the protein
  • amino acids bind to grow a protein chain
  • DNA code is copied
  • amino acids are put in the right order by the mRNA

19. what are chromosomes made of and what do they contain?

  • made of proteins and contain genes
  • made of genes and contain DNA
  • made of DNA annd contain genes
  • made of mitochondria and contain ribosomes

20. complementary base pairing

  • A-C T-C
  • a-t g-c
  • A-T G-C
  • T-C G-A
