Answer:

3.5 * 10^6

Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide is a harmful chemical which is broken down into oxygen and water by the catalase enzyme. The oxygen gas is released in to the air for next two minutes till reaches a steady rate and hence decrease further in an hour.  

The speed with which a catalase decompose hydrogen peroxide is 3.5 * 10^6 times per second

In absence of catalase,  H2O2 will be decomposed at a rate slower by 3.5 * 10^6 times

It will take 1,000,000 times slower for Hydrogen Peroxide to decompose

Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic compound that usually destroys cell membrane. Also, it is a byproduct of metabolism that must be broken down quickly because it can cause damage to the cells. Moreover, catalase is an enzyme that is found in almost all the living organism and function by catalysing the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. However, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is very slow and cannot sustain human life in the absence of catalase.

What is Osmosis.. Please define it and give some examples.​
Triss [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

osmosis is the movement of water molecules from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration down the concentration gradient.

What is the first way in which biology researchers present the results of their latest research?
Inga [223]
Generally people would say that the result are published in journals, and it is true that Journals are often the first opportunity for many people to read about those results.

However, it takes a long time to publish in a journal, and people often present their results to a smaller audience at a conference before the journal is ready.

Explain the process of how viruses hijack cells. Include the following words: membrane; protein
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The viral replication process begins when a virus infects its host by attaching to the host cell and penetrating the cell wall or membrane. Then the viral genome hijacks the host cell's machinery, forcing it to replicate the viral genome and produce viral proteins to make new capsids. In the past, viruses were considered nonliving infectious particles, little more than genetic material wrapped in a protein capsid. Today, virologists are beginning to think of viruses as living organisms that can be classified phylogenetically into defined species, much like any other living organism. The primary reasons for this shift in attitude can be partially attributed to the discovery of giant viruses, having large genomes and complex regulatory systems. Aside from that, it has become obvious that viruses lead complex lives; they evolve, speciate, and participate in the evolution of all classes of living organisms. In this chapter, we will discuss the early attempts to classify viruses, and review the biologic properties of the classes of virus that contain human pathogens.
