Answer;

Enzymes increase the rate of the chemical reactions carried out during metabolism.

Explanation;

-Some enzymes help to break down large nutrient molecules, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, into smaller molecules. This process occurs during the digestion of foodstuffs in the stomach and intestines of animals.

-Other enzymes guide the smaller, broken-down molecules through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. Still other enzymes promote the formation of large, complex molecules from the small, simple ones to produce cellular constituents.

-Enzymes are also responsible for numerous other functions, which include the storage and release of energy, the course of reproduction, the processes of respiration, and vision.

Which of the answer choices is a cross section of the highlighted region of the mushroom in the picture

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The mushroom in the picture and the option choices are included in the attached image. below...

The highlighted region of the mushroom in the picture represents the mushroom's "Gills", and paticularlly the multicellular structure carrying the Hymenium called "the basidiocarp" aka basidioma; the Hymenium or underside of the mushrooms is comprised of vertical plates arranged radially, and if a cross section of this is exposed by making a straight cut through the basidiocarp on a microscope, it would appear as option: (A. )

What process is used to take atmospheric nitrogen and turn it into nitrates?

andre [41]

Answer:

Nitrogen fixation

Explanation:

Certain soil bacteria, e.g., Azobacter spp can combine free nitrogen of the atmosphere with oxygen to form nitrates. This is called nitrogen fixation. Other nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium form symbiotic unions with the roots of leguminous plants called root nodules. They fix nitrogen to form nitrates which are used up by the host plant. Nitrifying soil bacteria, e.g., Nitrobacter convert nitrites to nitrates in a process called nitrification.

What would happen if your body wasn't in homeostasis

Marysya12 [62]

When homeostasis is not maintained, the body cannot function properly and illness may ensure. Homeostasis is the process in which the body's overall internal environment is kept constant in response to any external environmental changes. This involves maintaining stability in different body systems.

In contrast to growing microtubules, shrinking microtubules ............. Group of answer choices have strong lateral interactio

Otrada [13]

Answer:

have curved protofilaments at their plus ends

Explanation:

Microtubules are polymers of tubulin proteins that function as the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells. Microtubules are dynamic structures that can grow and shrink at a rapid rate. During this process, tubulin subunits can associate and dissociate at the plus end of the protofilament. Tubulin subunits bind to two GTP molecules, one of which is hydrolyzed to GDP after assembly. When microtubules are unstable, protofilaments curl outwards because GDP-bound tubulin has a weak affinity (thereby curving it) and disassemble. The dynamic stability of microtubules is regulated by a feedback loop: when microtubules shrink, free tubulin concentration increases and microtubules start to grow. As microtubules grow, free tubulin concentration decreases and the rate of GTP-tubulin addition also decreases.
