  • ACarbon dioxide
  • BOxygen
  • CNitrogen
  • DHydrogen
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Carbon dioxide
Explanation: Carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct of cellular respiration when glucose is broken down to produce ATP and must be exhaled by animals or used by plants in photosynthesis.

Which gas is released by plants as a byproduct of photosynthesis?

  • ACarbon dioxide
  • BNitrogen
  • COxygen
  • DWater vapour
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Oxygen
Explanation: Oxygen is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis during the light-dependent reactions when water molecules are split through photolysis providing electrons to replace those lost by chlorophyll.

Biology Medium

What happens to enzyme activity when temperature rises significantly above its optimum?

  • AActivity slows gradually then speeds up
  • BActivity remains constant
  • CEnzyme is denatured and loses activity
  • DEnzyme replicates to compensate
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Enzyme is denatured and loses activity
Explanation: When temperature rises significantly above the optimum the enzyme is denatured meaning the active site changes shape so the substrate can no longer bind and activity is permanently lost.

What term describes the specific molecule an enzyme acts upon?

  • ASubstrate
  • BProduct
  • CCofactor
  • DCoenzyme
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Substrate
Explanation: The substrate is the specific molecule upon which an enzyme acts binding at the active site to form an enzyme-substrate complex and being converted into products.

Biology Medium

What is the role of enzymes in biological reactions?

  • AAct as biological catalysts to speed up reactions
  • BStore genetic information
  • CProvide energy for reactions
  • DTransport oxygen in blood
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Act as biological catalysts to speed up reactions
Explanation: Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms by lowering activation energy without being consumed or permanently altered in the process.
