Biology

yulyashka [42]4 years ago
7 0
Fire extinguishers are classified according to the type of fire. jThe A, B, and C ratings define what kind of burning materials each fire extinguisher is designed to quench.

Class B fire extinguishers are effective against flammable liquid-form fires. Examples of which are cooking oils, gasoline, kerosene and the like. There are two commonly used effective fire-fighting chemicals used in these types of fire namely monoammonium phosphate and sodium bicarbonate. The monoammonium phosphate can effectively smother the fire from these liquid combustibles while the sodium bicarbonate induces a chemical reaction to extinguish the fire.

Therefore, the Class B fire extinguishers are suitable for liquid form combustibles such as cooking oil, gasoline, kerosene or paint.

What that determines if a cell is eukaryotic. *
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
To determine whether a cell is a eukaryotic or
prokaryotic cell, one can observe certain features.
If the cell in the question possesses a well-defined
or definite nucleus and have membrane-bound
organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts,
Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, the cell is
eukaryotic. If the cell has nucleoid or indefinite
nucleus and without membrane-bound cell
organelles, the cell is prokaryotic. If ribosomes in
a cell are the 80S (S=Svedberg units) type, the cell
is eukaryotic and if ribosomes are 70S type then it
is prokaryotic.

What is true of intercellular signals that do not go through direct connections between cells, such as plasmodesmata?
Paha777 [63]

The truth about intercellular signals are nucleus which opens up on an ion-linked channel.

Intercellular signals mediates and ionizes radiation which is being induced by stander effects.

Inorder to get to know more about intercellular signal we have to identify the transducers, receptors and the ligands.

The rate of a reaction catalyzed by an enzymes usually ________ with temperature; however, at temperatures above the optimum ran
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

increases; protein denaturation occurs

Explanation:

One of the characteristic of enzymes is the sensitivity to temperature .

Enzymes are sensitive to the changes in the environmental temperature.The enzymatic activities increases with increase in temperature,up to the optimum of 37 degrees in most animals.

However,once the optimum temperature has been exceeded,enzyme activities drops.This is because below optimum the rate of collision between the enzyme active sites and substrate molecules is very high,therefore more products are formed which increases the rate of reactions.

At temperature above the optimum,the high temperature  breaks the bonds,especially the hydrogen bonds holding the 3D structure of the active sites.Therefore,substrate molecules can not fit into the active site,and therefore enzymatic actives of the enzyme is affected,and the enzyme is said to be  denatured
