Biology
1 answer:
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]4 years ago

A concentration gradient is a process of particles, which are sometimes called solutes, moving through a solution or gas from an area with a higher number of particles to an area with a lower number of particles. The areas are separated by a membrane.

Hope this helped :)

Choose the CORRECT statement about enzymes below.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Enzymes function best at specific pH and temperatures.

Explanation:

An enzyme can be defined as a biological catalyst that typically lowers the activation energy of a biological reaction. When the activation energy of a reaction is low, the rate of the reaction would be faster. Therefore, an enzyme speeds or catalyzes the rate of a reaction by lowering its activation energy.

Also, if the conditions are not optimal for an enzyme, it limits the ability of an enzyme to bind or be joined with its substrates.

Hence, the correct statement about enzymes is that enzymes function best at specific pH and temperatures. An increase in temperature increases or speeds up the rate of a reaction while low temperature limits or reduces the rate of a reaction. The optimal temperature for enzymes in the human body is around 37 degrees celsius.

Species A has a diploid number of 42 chromosomes, while species B has a diploid number of 48 chromosomes. Give the chromosome nu
Arada [10]

Answer:

a. autotriploid of species A: 63 chromosomes

b. autotetraploid of species B: 96 chromosomes

c. allotriploid from species A and B: 1) 66 chromosomes and 2) 69 chromosomes

Explanation:

<u>For a.</u>

this species will have 3 haploid sets of chromosomes ('tri' means 3)

one haploid set = 21

21 × 3 = 63 chromosomes

<u>For b.</u>

this species will have 4 haploid sets of chromosomes ('tetra' means 4)

one haploid set = 24

24 × 4 = 96 chromosomes

<u>For c.</u>

there are two ways to do this:

1) two sets of chromosomes from species A and one from species B

42 + 24 = 66 chromosomes

2) one set of chromosomes from species A and two from species B

21 + 48 = 69 chromosomes

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Please order the layers of a cliff side by the age of fossils found there from youngest to oldest
aev [14]
Youngest to oldest would be: 3, 4, 1, 5, 2. Since it's from the bottom, the ones furthest from the bottom would be the youngest at the top. The oldest fossils would be closest to the bottom.
