The pH balance plays an important role in the chemical makeup of the human body.

REASONS :

A pH balance simply means that the acid-base balance in the body is generally maintained. The body needs to stay in homeostasis (a stable state) to function optimally.

1.Slight deviations from normal pH can shut down metabolic pathways.

2. The structure and function of macromolecules are pH dependent.

Enzymatic and other proteinic activity is limited by pH. 2) Slight deviations from normal pH can shut down metabolic pathways. 3) The structure and function of macromolecules are pH dependent.

<h3>How does the pH levels affect enzymes and proteins?</h3>

Enzymes, like all proteins, are polypeptidic molecules.

They need to get an accurate tridimensional structure to accomplish their function.

There is a limit of temperature and pH level at which they lose that structure and denaturalize.

<u>pH changes</u>

The most accurate configuration for the best catalytic performance depends on the charge of the lateral chains and the environmental pH.

Enzymes have ionizable chemical groups in the lateral chains of their amino acids.

Depending on the environmental pH, these groups will have a positive, negative, or neutral charge.

There is an optimum pH level at which enzymes get the best configuration to accomplish their functions.

Most enzymes are sensitive to any change in pH, which might drastically affect their activity. So every enzyme has its optimum pH level, and any slight deviations will cause the enzyme denaturalization, hence, its activity loss.

Whenever the enzyme loses its configuration, and hence, its function, the whole pathway in which it is involved is interrupted.

Options 2 and 3 are correct.

  1. Slight deviations from normal pH can shut down metabolic pathways.
  2. The structure and function of macromolecules are pH dependent.

Why is it important to maintain the ph of blood and tissue fluids within normal limits? check all that apply

  1. Most enzymes require an acidic pH to function properly.
  2. Slight deviations from normal pH can shut down metabolic pathways.
  3. The structure and function of macromolecules are pH dependent.
  4. Hormones require a blood pH of at least 77 to function,
  5. A drop in blood pH causes dehydration

1.What taxon (classification levels) are represented by the scientific name of an organism? What are the rules for writing the s
Ksivusya [100]

<u>Answer</u>:

1.a) Species. It is the lowest taxon and represents the scientific name of the organism.

b) The species name is part of the binomial system of nomenclature developed by Linnaeus.

Thus it is composed of two parts each with its own writing rules (ex. gray wolf - <em>Canis lupus</em>):

A. the genus or generic name

- written first

- always underlined or italicized

- the first letter is always capitalized

ex. <em>Canis</em>

B. the specific epithet or species name

- is written second

- always underlined or italicized

- never capitalized

ex. <em>lupus</em>

<em />

2. The results should always be the same. A dichotomous key is an identification tool based on a series of choices between alternative characters (dichotomous = divided into two parts). Thus, there is no room for subjective observation that may lead to another result. If the morphological traits of the organism are correctly identified, the the result should always be the same. Any differences occur due to errors on the scientist's part.

AleksAgata [21]
<h2>Koch's Postulates.</h2>

Explanation:

The next step should be isolate the microorganism from the mice and check if it is identical to the original microbe.

According to Koch's postulates, a microbe can be considered as a causative agent of a disease only after all the following are established:

  • The microorganism should be present in all the organism suffering from the disease.
  • The isolated microorganism should be grown in pure culture.
  • The organism grown in the culture should be reintroduced in the susceptible but healthy host.
  • Finally the microorganism must be re-isolated from the experimental host an cultured to see whether it is identical to the original specific microorganism.

What does cell specialization in multicellular organisms allow cells to do?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Allows to give rise to different organs.

Explanation:

Since all the cells in our body have developed from a single cell, "the egg or ovum fertilized by a sperm", all of them are identical, that is, they have exactly the same instructions, but depending on the organ they form part, they will use only part of the information or another. This is known as cell specialization.

Thus, the nerve cells possess the information necessary to form hair and the cells that form hair possess the information necessary to form nerves. However, once specialized, nerve cells will form nerve tissue and hair cells will form hair.

In this way, being different recipes, the cells give rise to different organs.
