The fish is the organism which would be expected to have the highest concentration of the toxic compound in its tissue.

<h3>What is a Toxic compound?</h3>

These are substances which are natural or man-made and are characterized by their poisonous properties.

Toxic buildup increases as the trophic level increases in a food chain and vice versa. The fish being at the top of the food chain in the water will have more concentration of the toxic compound.

What happens to an enzyme if the temperature varies too far from the enzyme's optimum (or best) temperature?
Fantom [35]
If the temperature is too low, enzyme molecules don’t have enough kinetic energy to collide and combine with other substrate molecules. So the enzyme activity/ reaction rate will be very low. The rate will rise again once the temperature increases to its optimum temperature.

But if the temperature is too high, enzyme will be denatured, which means the shape of the active site of the enzyme is changed. It can no long combine with other substrate molecules. The rate will drop significantly. Yet, lowering the temperature won’t help because denaturation is permanent and irreversible.

How does physical weathering affect plants and animals?
ZanzabumX [31]

                                                       <u>Answer</u>

__________________________________________________________

<em>According to EarthEclipse, Plant and animals have a significant effect on the rocks as they penetrate or burrow into the soil respectively. Biological weathering can work hand in hand with physical weathering by weakening rock or exposing it to the forces of physical or chemical weathering. For instance, some plants and trees grow within the fractures in the rock formation.</em>

a mitosis inhibitor is a medication that is designed to prevent mitosis in certain cells why would these be helpful in the treat
rewona [7]

Tumors are caused due to uncontrolled growth of cells. Thus a mitosis inhibitor could be effective medication to treat tumor because it will inhibit cell proliferation and development of tumor.

Explanation:

  • Tumors are  mass of tissue that developed as a result of uncontrolled cell division.
  • Cell division is a continuous process in our body and it replaces old and damaged cells with new one.
  • But in case of tumors the cell division  takes place in uncontrollable manner and continues to add cells to the tissue while the cell death do not take place.
  • Ultimately an unwanted overgrown mass of cell develops that hinders with the normal functioning of the body.
  • Tumor are classified as benign tumor and malignant tumors.
  • Both these tumors need to be treated as they develop as an unwanted hindrance to the body metabolism.
  • The best way to check the growth of tumor is to inhibit the cell division in the tumor tissue.
  • Thus a mitotic inhibitor which will inhibit mitosis could be a good medication for treatment of tumors.
