Answer:
Hypotheis:
<em>If high amounts of product in the samples, '+++' , correlates with optimal temperatures and pH for enzyme activity, then...</em>
- <u>A- Pepsin</u>
- <u>B- Amylase </u>
- <u> C- thermophilic enzyme</u>
Explanation:
Enzymes are specialized proteins that function as biological catalysts- <u>they speed up chemical reactions.</u> As proteins, these are susceptible to changes in temperature and pH- they function best at optimal values for both conditions, but can be denatured, rendering them inactive at relative extremes.
Each enzyme provided has its own optimal temperature and pH values.
- Thermophilic enzymes are usually found in regions characterized by high temperatures. They show high thermostability, and do not become denatured at high temperatures- they thrive, and do not function well at lower temperatures.
- Amylase is a hydrolase digestive enzyme found in the mouth, that acts on polysaccharides like starch to break 1,4 glycosidic bonds between glucose molecules. It works best at a physiological (neutral) pH and temperatures (around 37°)
- Pepsin, another digestive enzyme, is a peptidase that breaks down proteins into peptide molecules. It is found in the stomach lining, where the pH is typically low i.e. acidic due to the hydrochloric acid in digestive juices.
Thus from the table A- pepsin, B- Amylase and C- thermophilic enzyme can be hypothesized.

<u>Answer:</u>
Greenhouse gas refers to any gaseous compound in the atmosphere that can absorb infrared radiation, thereby trapping heat and keeping it in the atmosphere. By increasing the heat in the atmosphere, greenhouse gases are responsible for the greenhouse effect, which ultimately leads to global warming.
<u>Examples why greenhouse gases in the atmosphere:</u>
- farming cattle releases methane
- farming rice in paddy fields releases methane
- burning fossil fuels in vehicles and power stations releases carbon dioxide
- deforestation releases carbon dioxide and reduces the absorption of carbon dioxide through photosynthesis
