This question seems to be incomplete because the experiment is not described but it is possible to answer it.
The correct answer is B. Redi disproved spontaneous generation.
Explanation:
Francesco Redi was an important scientist during the 17th century known for his experiments about maggots in rotten meat. This is because during Redi's time it was believed rotten meat was the origin of maggots because maggots seemed to emerge from this. Additionally, this perception was related to the spontaneous generation or the idea life can emerge from non-living materials. The results of this experiment show the idea about spontaneous generation was not true in the case of meat and maggots because maggots were simply the result of eggs flies laid on rotten meat. This means this experiment disproved spontaneous generation.
Answer:
Its used as validity, and quality of the articles. The main purpose of it is to filter out poor or invalid articles.
Explanation:
1. Our results showed that test tube B contained end products of protein digestion, meaning that the isolated enzyme has the ability to break down protein. The end products of protein digestion include small polypeptides, dipeptides, and amino acids. In general, test tube B will contain the building blocks of proteins, which are the amino acids.
2. The two test tubes were placed in a hot water bath at 37oC. This is because the enzyme studied is a human enzyme and it works best at the human body temperature, which is approximately 37oC.
Enzymes are biological catalysts, which means that they accelerate chemical reactions. As a result, an enzyme's activity is greatly affected by temperature. Every enzyme, depending on each function and origin, has a specific range of ideal temperature conditions. If the temperature rises above the maximum accepted, then the enzyme denatures and loses its structure.
3. If the enzyme studied was added in a tube containing starch instead of proteins, then nothing would happen. This is because the enzymes are highly specialized and have very specific actions. It has been proved that this enzyme's activity involves the digestion of proteins.
Starch is a polysaccharide produced by plants, this means that starch is a carbohydrate. Given that starch is not a protein, it will not be digested by the enzyme. An enzyme digesting proteins, will not have any effect on carbohydrates.
4. The smaller molecules which are the result of the digestion happening in the digestive system are absorbed by the human body. More specifically, the products of protein digestion are absorbed by the intestine and then transported into the bloodstream. From the blood, they are then absorbed by other tissues.
After they are absorbed, they are used to build muscles or other compounds which can produce energy.
