Firstly, think of similarities between the processes. For example, neither process requires energy, so they are passive processes. This means that in both processes, molecules must move from a high concen...

Temperature can affect rate of reaction. As temperature increases, rate of reaction also increases, because enzymes have more kinetic energy. This continues up to the optimum temperature (for enzymes in h...

Osmosis is the passive movement of a solvent, for example water, through a semipermeable membrane, such as one of a living cell, into a solution of higher solute concentration than the starting solute con...

Chlorophyll is a pigment molecule produced by plants that they use to absorb light energy (photons), which is needed for the light dependent section of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis makes glucose, the en...

Following a meal, the levels of glucose in the blood will increase. This increase in the level of glucose needs to be controlled, otherwise the levels of glucose will become too high and someone could end...
