12. $100 Question from Enzymes
Define the term enzyme.

13. $100 Answer from Enzymes An enzyme catalyses a chemical
reaction without being changed
or used up.

14. $200 Question from Enzymes
What type of molecule is an enzyme?

15. $200 Answer from Enzymes
Protein

16. $300 Question from Enzymes
Define denature and
explain the effect on the
rate of reaction.

17. $300 Answer from Enzymes Denaturation: The change in shape
of an enzyme’s active site. The
substrate does not fit anymore and
the rate of reaction decreases.

18. $400 Question from Enzymes
Why are enzymes necessary in our body?

19. $400 Answer from Enzymes
Without enzymes, the chemical reactions we need would take too long to occur and life would not be possible.

20. $500 Question from Enzymes
Name two factors that affect the rate of enzyme reactions and explain what happens when one of these factors is too high or low

21. $500 Answer from Enzymes
pH and temperature. pH – denaturation when too high or low. Temperature – not enough kinetic energy when too low, denaturation when too high.

22. $100 Question from Respiration & Ventilation
What is the word equation for
cellular respiration?

23. $100 Answer from Respiration & Ventilation
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide +
Water + Energy

24. $200 Question from Respiration & Ventilation
What is the chemical formula
for aerobic respiration?

25. $200 Answer from Respiration & Ventilation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2 O + Energy

26. $300 Question from Respiration & Ventilation
Describe the process of inhalation
(3 individual points must be explained)

27. $300 Answer from Respiration & Ventilation
Intercostal muscles contract
Ribcage moves up and outwards
Volume of the thorax/chest cavity
/lungs increases
Pressure inside the thorax decreases
e) Air movements from a higher
pressure outside to a lower pressure
in the lungs.

28. $400 Question from Respiration & Ventilation
State how the gas exchange
surface is adapted to its function.
(2 points required)

29. $400 Answer from Respiration & Ventilation
Thin alveoli/capillary walls
for a short distance
Good blood supply/ventilation
to maintain a steep conc. gradient
Moist to allow dissolving & diffusion of gases
d) Large surface area to increase rate of
diffuion of gases.

30. $500 Question from Respiration & Ventilation
Describe how you would use a respirometer to measure the respiration of mealworms.
(4 points needed)

31. $500 Answer from Respiration & Ventilation
a)Specify mass/number/age/species of earthworms (>2)
b)Use of control with dead earthworms/weight
d)Measure the distance the coloured liquid moved in a specified amount of time
e)Repeat experiment
f) Mention of soda lime/soda pellets to absorb CO2
g) Mention that liquid is moving towards the test organisms.

32. $100 Question from Variety of Life
Name the 5 kingdoms of life.

33. $100 Answer from Variety of Life
Plants, animals, proctista, fungi, bacteria

34. $200 Question from Variety of Life
Give the definition of a pathogen.What kingdoms can contain pathogens?

35. $200 Answer from Variety of Life
An organism that can cause disease in another organism.
Bacteria, fungi, proctoctists

36. $300 Question from Variety of Life
Why are viruses not considered one of the five kingdoms of life?

37. $300 Answer from Variety of Life
They do not carry out any of the characteristics of living organisms except reproduction (which they need to do inside another living cell).

38. $400 Question from Variety of Life
What two things are true for all proctoctists? Give an example of a proctotist.

39. $400 Answer from Variety of Life
They all have nuclei and are single-celled. Chlorella, amoeba, plasmodium

40. $500 Question from Variety of Life
Which kingdoms have cells walls? For each kingdom, name the substance that makes up the cell walls

41. $500 Answer from Variety of Life
Bacteria – polysaccharides
Fungi – chitin
Plants - cellulose

42. $100 Question from Misc. Which of the following functions does
active transport perform in a cell?
A. moving substances down a concentration
gradient
B. distributing enzymes throughout the cytoplasm
C. moving substances against a concentration
D. equalizing the concentration of water inside
and outside the cell of organisms
Mass 07

43. $100 Answer from Misc.
moving substances against a concentration gradient

44. $200 Question from Misc. Give three effects of smoking on the body.
Mass 07

45. $200 Answer from Misc.
Emphysema, lung cancer, bronchitis, carbon monoxide in the blood

46. $300 Question from Misc.
Define osmosis and state what will happen to the sugar and water molecules in the diagram.

47. $300 Answer from Misc.
Net movement of water molecules from a high water potential to a low water potential across a partially permeable membrane.
Water will move from right to left. Sugar molecules will not change sides.

48. $400 Question from Misc.
Explain what happens to a red blood cell that is placed in pure water.

49. $400 Answer from Misc.
It will explode because of osmosis (water enters the cell because the water potential is lower inside the cell).

50. $500 Question from Misc.
Explain how osmosis helps plants to stand upright. Use correct vocabulary.

51. $500 Answer from Misc.
Water enters the vacuole because the water potential is lower inside. This allows the cell membrane to press against the cell wall, making it turgid and exerting pressure so that the plant stands upright.
