An increase in temperature increases kinetic energy of particles, so collision frequency increases and more enzyme-substrate complexes are formed, therefore rate of reaction increases. The rate of reactio...

DNA is contained within the nucleus of the cell. It contains genes which are a sequence of DNA codes. Each gene codes for a protein. All the DNA is coiled into structures called chromosomes. There are 46 ...

First of all an action potential reaches the end of a motor neuron and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is then released into the synapse. An action potential is initiated in the muscle cellSarcoplasmic...

During depolarisation, sodium ions move into the cell, resulting in the membrane potential rising from -70 millivolts (mV) to +40mV.During repolarisation, potassium ions move out of the cell, and the memb...

Organisms may be less well adapted to the changing climate. The organisms will be outcompete by other organisms and it will be harder to them to find food and shelter which are crucial to the organisms su...
