Enzymes can be denatured unfolded by heat or chemicals.

<h3>What are enzymes?</h3>

Enzymes are proteins that are found in living organisms which are able to increase the rate of chemical reaction and remains unchanged at the end of the reaction.

The factors that can denature enzymes include heat and chemicals. This is because:

Higher temperatures disrupt the shape of the active site, which will reduce its activity, or prevent it from working. When the enzyme loses its shape, it is said to have been denatured.

These environmental factors can alter the pH level of the enzyme.

Therefore, for an enzyme to perform its functions, the external factors that affects it's activities must be normal and favorable.

The answer is copper. Nonrenewable resources are those that cannot be readily/naturally replaced at rates that match those of consumption (an aspect that allow renewable resources to be sustainable). Copper are made deep in earth at very slow rates hence do not readily renew themselves. Organisms, on the other hand die, and are naturally replaced by offspring.

To answer this question you must break apart the words given on the right.
“Eco” means life and production. So an ecologist would be someone who studies life and it’s processes. So the correct answer for the first blank would be C. Life Science.

A chemist is one who interacts with day to day elements and sciences that is tactile. So the most appropriate answer would be B. Physical science.

A geologist is someone who studies the earth. As the part of the word “geo,” meaning earth, suggests. So the correct answer here would be A. Earth science.

Finally, “Astro” means space .Astrology is the study of the stars and the sky, for example. So, D. Space science would be the best answer for an astronaut.

I hope all of these are helpful. :)

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Gonadotrophin

Explanation:

*GONADOTROPHINS:These are *hormones produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland that regulate the male and female reproductive organ*. The two Gonadotrophins are *Follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) and Luteinising hormone(LH)*. Both are glycoproteins.

*Follicle stimulating hormone stimulates spermatogenesis by stimulating the sertoli cells to complete the development of spermatozoa from spermatids*.

*Luteinising hormone stimulates the synthesis of the hormone "testosterone" by the leydig (interstitial cells) of the testis*. Testosterone is a steroid hormone and is made from cholesterol, It stimulates growth and development of the germinal epithelial cells (spermatogonia) to form sperms,and also works with follicle stimulating hormone to stimulate sertoli cells.
