Q

What Is the locus

A

The position of a gene on a Chromosome

17
Q

Why do enzymes denatured at too high temp

A

Their molecules vibrate too much,
Breaking the hydrogen bonds that hold the 3D shape

18
Q

Why are enzymes denatured with pH

A

The hydrogen bonds break, changing the active site shape change

19
Q

What is the water potential if there is low water and high substrates

Low water potential

20
Q

What is the water potential if there is alot of water and low substrates

A

High water potential

21
Q

If the water potential is low in the cell where does the water move

A

Into the cell

22
Q

If water potential is high in the cell where does water move

A

Out of the cell

23
