High levels of salt (Na Cl-) can disrupt the tertiary structure of proteins. What effect do you think increasing concentrations

of salt would have on lactase activity

Increasing concentrations of salt would disrupt lactase activity by disrupting its tertiary structure. This enzyme breaks down lactose.

<h3>What is an enzyme?</h3>

An enzyme is a protein that acts to lower the activation energy of a given chemical reaction.

Lactase is an enzyme that acts to break down lactose (a disaccharide) into galactose and glucose.

Different conditions in the media (in this case, concentrations of salt) may disrupt enzyme activity by altering its tertiary 3D structure.

Which of the following represents the correct pathway of the egg after leaving the ovary and entering the uterine tube?
Hoochie [10]

<u>Answer</u>: Infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, uterus.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The ovary produces the egg and, it releases one unfertilized egg every month.
  • The egg then travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus.
  • The fallopian tube consists of three parts:

1. <em>Infundibulum</em>- it is the most distal portion of the fallopian tube which receives the egg coming out of the ovary.

2. <em>Ampulla</em>- This is the next portion of the fallopian tube which is ciliated and is the site of fertilisation of the egg.

3. <em>Isthmus</em>- it is also a ciliated region which controls the transport of both sperm and the embryo.

  • Finally, after passing through the isthmus the fertilized egg reaches the uterus where implantation takes place.
  • <em>So the journey of the egg from the ovary to uterus follows the pathway, ovary---> infundibulum--->ampulla--->isthmus--->uterus.</em>
