How does the sugar concentration affect the size of a cell?

1 answer:

4 0

If sugar concentration within a cell is high/rises, then water will enter the cell increasing the volume of cytoplasm within the cell and hence the volume/size of the cell itself;

Alternatively, if the sugar concentration within a cell is low/falls, then water leave the cell decreasing the volume of cytoplasm withing the cell and thus the cell will get smaller.

Meat, fish and eggs.

Explanation:

Meat, fish and eggs are the foods that do not contain any or less carbohydrate, these foods are high in protein and fats. By looking on the nutrition label for the amounts per serving (in grams) of fiber and total carbohydrates, if there is no or less percentage of carbohydrates so by see the label we can say that whether the food has low or high amount of carbohydrates.

B) After determining the optimum pH, they could vary the temperature of the environment to see if catalase is temperature specific

Enzymes are proteins which catalyze reactions by acting on substrates in order to speed up reactions- like the breakdown of large polysaccharides by amylase. Here, the enzyme catalase facilitates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and hydrogen. Catalase specificity is affected by pH, temperature and the presence of inhibitors.

In temperatures beyond its optimal range, catalase may undergo changes to its physical structure called denaturation; when denatured, enzymes lose their ability to bind specifically to their substrate -i.e. substrate binding specificity is lost. H2O2 would no longer be able to bind to the active site, and thus would not be broken down.

_____ is a method to detect prenatal genetic abnormalities that samples the membrane enveloping the amniotic sac and fetus:

love history [14]

Answer:

Chorionic villus sampling

Explanation:

Chorion is one of the extraembryonic membranes that surround the fetus and the amniotic cavity. The cells present in the chorion have the same genome and chromosomes as present in the fetus. Therefore, some of the chorionic tissues are collected from the chorionic villi. These tissues are then analyzed for any chromosomal abnormality. This process is called chorionic vill sampling. For the purpose, tissue collection can be done by inserting a catheter through the cervix or using a needle through the uterine wall.
